Azenis or RS2's ?
I curently have the RS2's and its about time for some new rubber. I have no complaints about them except that I just noticed that they went up in price. They used to only be a few dollar difference between thr RS2's and the Azenis. Now the RS2's are about $15 more. I have never tried the Azenis. What do you guys prefer. Which is better in the rain?

I have the azenis' they're decent in the rain. They get more greasy on the track some say and you can't get them is a 225/45r15. I'm on the 205/50r15s and they're ok. I want the wider tires later on though.
Only reason i bought Azeni RT615s is because the RS2s were sold out.

The RS2 have a different treadwear rating then the Azenis and people say the RS2 has better wet performance.
If you look at the RS2's tread pattern its identical to another very expensive tire that they currently put on elises but it slips my mind, so they have to be good.

Dude just tell them that you could probably get a bunch of sales if they price it right. You dont need seniority to make them some money. As it stands the are $99 each shipped from tires.com. Tell them that and see if they can beat it.

I've got about 3,000 miles on my 01Rs so far, mostly hard in-town driving with two autocross days, a 100 mile canyon run, and about 750 miles of highway. So far they're wearing quite well. I expect I'll probably see 10,000 miles out of them.
I just love these tires. They don't fall off when they get hot, they deal with standing water fairly well, and they grip like a sonofabitch. Good all-purpose rubber.

195/50 is the only 15" size that Bridgestone is selling in the US. They are a spectacularly wide 195 however. The actual contact patch width on these is about the same as my previous 215/45 T1Ss which, granted, were a rather narrow 215.
