Better tires are the Dunlop Star Specs. the Azenis are a few years old now.

I would recommend a 215/255 size.

I'm sure this has been discussed but I haven't been able to find anything as search is down.

Having an AP2 and running a 215/255 setup, did you notice an increase in understeer?

EDIT - guess I should have tried search today, looks like it's back up

Dunlop Direzza Star Specs are excellent for the price, but if you have the cash...Bridgestone RE11s...
