I hear nothing but good stuff in Sport Compact Car about these tires. I now have a 1993 CX with GSR swap in it to use as a beater/track car. It has 16" volk te37's but I also have some stock 14" steel wheels and I was thinking the Azenia's would be the answer.

Not good "racing tires", but probably pretty damned good to run to the track and for fun track days.?

they are only $50 delivered each. $200 total (195/60/14's)

The other choice was the Yoko Road race Ao32's... $105 each plus shipping... more than double the $. (195/60/14's)


Any experiences?

thanks...scot

My friend has them on his integra...and he seems to like them. The tread wear rating is kind of low if you plan to use them for commute...but they are cheap!

>80% of those that autox in street tire use them. for the money, they absolutely can't be beat. very sticky. stiff sidewall. lots of tire patch. much wider than other tires w/ the same dimensions. i used them on my miata all summer long for daily commutes and very frequent autox. wear was no problem on my light miata(~2200 lbs), but i have seen those w/ heavier cars (prelude, civic) wear much quicker. if they ever make azenis that fit the s2k, i would buy it in a second!

At least over here the Azenis RS brochure shows available sizes 205/50R16 and 225/50R16. Not perfect for the S2000, but quite close.

The dealer is not getting back to me however...

I have the Azenis on my turbo'd Civic. I take it canyon carving every weekend. The tires grip EXCELLENT. I have had many types of tires on this car, but nothing even comes close to the Falkens. And the price can't be beat. If they made them for my S, I would buy them in a heartbeat.
