Ok guys, I just ordered my wheels and now its time to get tires. I already have the size picked out, 205/50/15, of course. I have two tires I'm choosing between. Falken Azenis and the Potenza S0-3. I've heard great things from both but never ran either. I know alot of people on this forum are using the Azenis, but has anyone actually used the S0-3? if so, what do you think?

The S03 is a "nicer" street tire. it's less noisy, and isn't as harsh. However, it's a LOT more expensive, and does give up some performance to the Azenis."Never run out of real estate, traction & ideas at the same time"

Neither will last any signifigant time if you're actually using them. And Azenis aren't autocross oriented, they just happen to be the BEST street tire, at a very affordable price. So people who are involved with autocross, it's simply a very good choice.
I liked Azenis in the rain. :shrug:"Never run out of real estate, traction & ideas at the same time"

Again, not in my experience. As long as you weren't a dip**** when driving, and were paying attention, they weren't that bad in standing water."Never run out of real estate, traction & ideas at the same time"

I would have recommended Nitto Drag 555R with a threadwear of 100. Extremely drag racing street legal tires with awesome grip, perfect for off the line launches. The drawback is, I think they are available only for 14", 16" and above, but not for 15 rims.
They cost almost double the amount of a Azenis.
