Azenis. I'm biased, but i've also seen more and better reviews for the azenis 615 than the invos.

And also the 2 bucks each tire = $8. Thats 8 wendys dollar chicken sammys. Yum

Those are closer to what your price range is. If you were going for expensive I'd say Potenza RE-11... $183+ each in OEM size.

One question before I give you my opinion are these for daily driving or are you doing some auto-cross or drag because both these tires have some negatives.

BTW... the Dunlops in that size are only $137/each at Tirerack (plus shipping).

They're $146 at DiscountTireDirect.... free shipping.

Is shipping included in your other prices?

Oh OK... so free shipping then. Cool.

I don't know anything about the Nittos... but a word on the RT615... wet traction SUCKS. I mean, it's driveable... but if you try to push it, you're hydroplaning in no time.

The azenis' in the wet are still predictable but they do lose traction very easily.

As long as your responsible with them, they are an awesome tire for the dry, they have no road noise (for me anyway) and they look nice and meaty. Just take it slow in the wet.
