I've had my Azenis Tires on now for about two weeks. THe biggest suprise was how quiet they are, at least new. They are much quieter than my nearly worn out Bridgestaone PP S-02's. They have turn in and grip much like my old G-Force T/A R1's (not quite, but close). They are quite good in the wet, although I'd avoid standing water at spead in any case. In street use, they've been grippy, silent, and predictable. They also pick up stones like an R-compound tire

Pros: grippy, silent, predictable
Cons: pick up stones

The tires performed great! I'm not really used to autoxing a front drive car - I've been running a B-Stock Miata for a while now, and quickly forgot what an understeer battle it is - but it was clear that the Azenises are somewhere inbetween a street tire and a race tire. They seemed to like about 40 PSI in the front (they were rolling over with 38) and no matter how high the rear was (ended at 54 psi) I couldn't get the car to rotate.

Pros: tires performed great
Cons: understeer battle

In short, these are by far the stickiest street tires I have ever driven on. They are substantially better than the Kumho Ecsta 712s that I had before. They are also about 1/2" wider for the same section size. These feel more like R-compound tires than summer tires, in that they break away very slowly, and are nearly silent. Exit speed on my favorite off-ramp has increased by about 5 MPH compared to the Kumhos. Wet performance is about equal to the Kumhos. They are quiet on the highway, although very stiff.

Pros: stickiest street tires
Cons: very stiff

I have been running 195-50-15 P700Z's on my 81 MKI Scirocco. They ride pretty well on the freeway for low profile tires. Tire noise is not bad. Cornering power is good in the dry. I wore out the fronts first and bought two more. The tire is a bargain and good all around performance for the price.

Pros: good cornering power, good performance
Cons: more stick in the wet

I don't have experience with the P7000 but I've had two sets of the P700Zs and loved them. They are an older tire that are now out of production but you can get them for a great price. They are nice and sticky and last as well. A good combo if you ask me.

Pros: nice and sticky, last well
Vehicle: Volkswagen
