for regular street driving it would be fine. for autox or agressive driving not so fine.
in my car a slight change in tire size completely changed the handling of the car. going from 225 to 245 in the front made the car go from understeer though slow/medium speed turns to being neutral/oversteer(with throttle application). This was with the same brand/model of tire.
With your less sticky ES100 which are alos narrower, it would most likely make the car oversteer.
but like I said, if you drive with a lot of sense on the street and keep the speed down, it should be fine.
lastly what is the width of your wheel? you'll need at least 7.5" to fit the Azenis properly. 225 on an azenis is more like 235 or 240ish.
