The Kumho 712s don't have great cornering in wet. They are good tires though overall.

My set of Azenis last a little over a year with about 20,000 miles. Wet traction is fine up to about 4mm of tread around 75mph in a downpour.

I use both the Falken Ziex 512's and the Yok AVS ES100's and they're both great tires. But since you're on a budget, you can't go wrong with the 512's. :goodjob:

You mean "used to autox" on them. The Azenis are 10x better than the Kumho 712s. Although I'm tempted to try the Kumho MXs since I've seen great results for them in the heat, whereas the Azenis hate heat.
