You could argue that. BFG KD's beat them in a Grassroots Motorsports comparison. I've also heard that in cold weather S-03's are faster. The person that said the S-03's were faster said there was one other tire besides the KD's that were faster then the Azenis also, but would not divulge the information (national champion mentallity  ). This is from a reputable source that has done testing with all of these tires.
Would I buy any of these other tires over Azenis? NO, unless I was running for a national championship. Kind of like my arguement between Hoosiers and Kumhos. Why waste the money for local events. Even then on our cars you would be hard pressed to convince me that Hoosiers are the better choice (ie. less straight line traction then the Kumhos and would get burned off really quickly).
