The Azenis are a wide tire..but more stick is better. In the 205/50/15 size..the Azenis have about a 3/4" per tire wider contact patch than the Kumho Ecsta Supras do...and mixed with a very sticky rubber compund for a non R-Compund tire, means good traction on the course and great traction for daily driving. I saw the Azenis in action this past weekend..great tire for the money.
