Well i need tires as i said in a post 2 weeks ago.I will be ordering them on sat.I need to know what would be better to have.I am not worry about tread wear or cost.I am worry about nosie.Both seem to get top rating for handling but azenis take it there.Water would be ts1.The looks would be azenis imho.Ride would go to ts1 so i need your guys help.I not in to auto cross so it for everyday curve road to work and back.The othere thing i heard is that azenis get hot and have to cool them off.I drive 1 1/2 once a week up north dont want to lose traction by them heating up too much.

My Azenis's are not that quiet above 50mph... something to consider. They are VERY sticky. They pick up and throw rocks in the wheel wells so get used to that sound.
I'd go w/the T1s as a better all around street tire. The Azenis is great as a street/auto-x/track day tire but if you're only going to be on the street...

I'll have to back up what Alex said, I've ridden in his car on a track and the Azenis were very sticky. And that was in a 195/60-14 size. Considering their price they seem to be a great tire for track/autoX use...the TS1 may be better suited for day to day street driving though.
