Seat time and tires are the keys to success at the local level. The Azenis are good inexpensive tires but they are a ~5yr old model and they are not ideal for rain on a daily driver. They will be better than most of the high perfomance summer tires out there but there are other tires that outperform them for a little bit more money.

The current top performers are:
Kumho Ecsta XS
Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Specs
Bridgestone RE01R
Bridgestone RE11

And remember that all of these have relatively low wear ratings so anticipate replacing them each year.

Yeah i dont mind the treadwear because i have 2 other sets of new tires on wheels so i wont daily on these. I do plan on autoxing alot and tracking atleast once so the cost will be worth it. I definitely want to stick to street tires though. Maybe r-comps a few years down the road.
