thanks...good post.

put yourself in my shoes. if you had to get a set of 205-50-15 tires, which would you go for? with my first choice being the falkens, my budget is really slim. i may go up to $80 for each.

i want a good dry tire, but at the same time i want to make sure it is also safe in the rain.

"but they are by no means dangerous.." i understand that, but i also understand, "the tread doesn't provide a lot of hydroplane resistance."

i dont really have a lot of knowledge on tires. the stock michelins werent "that bad" to me. and im pretty happy with my cheap ZIEX tires in the rain. so if the dry and wet characteristics of the azenis are better than the stock michelin or ZIEX, i will be satified.

thanks again.
