The Azenis are sold in Canada, u just have to look for them. Try www.tiretrends.com or www.talontire.com

both are in Canada, TireTrends is in BC and Talon Tire is in Quebec. both have very good service.

Falkens I think are factory on BMW's. You can find them here. I don't know about your particular model, but falkens are not hard to find.

I really dont care about tread life...i dont drive my MR2 enough anyways plus it has never seen snow and barely sees rain, I want a tire thats quiet at highspeeds , can hook up nicely and can enable me to enter and exit corners as I desire;)

I'm not the only one who thinks Falken fk451's are better than paradas!!! If your looking for all out grip, I'm sure the axenis will be crazy:thumbsup:

Bridgestone Potenza S02s are what you should look for if you want performance.

Ya those are good. Or hook up with a set of Nitto 555R extremes, I love mine.

The potenza's are definately a good tire, but if you are looking for super sticky road racing tires, the Azeni's are one of the best.
This has been found from almost all ITR road racers.
Go with the Azenis's!

Got my Falkens 245/40/18's from Kal Tire...

Kal Tire in Edmonton doesn't sell the Azenis RS, but they do sell the Azenis ST115 which is probably not the one u are thinking about. The RS is the one that is dominating the SCCA solo II championships.....those are the ones w/ the assymetrical tread. The ST115 are unidirectinoal but NOT assymetrical.

If u are looking for a quiet tire, the Azenis are NOT for u. These things drone, not as loud as the A032Rs, but the noise is very comparible. As for wet traction, what do u expect? Look at the tread design, u think large tread blocks are going to provide suberb wet handling, nah uh.

PS. There is no such thing as a high performace tire w/ a long treadlife. U want grip, u'll have to sacrifice the wear.

They are more on porshe's. My specV had them and same with the SVT focus.

The conti's gripped well, I was impressed. But so far it's one of the most expensive mainstreem tires out there in north america.
