Default Time for tires

Ok, so with the warm couple days we've had now it's clicked in that I need to consider getting summer tires since I burned my old ones up at mosport before switching to my winters I've got a bunch in mind, and I'm currently REALLY leaning towards the Falken Azenis tire, but of course second opinions are always needed.

Dunlop Direzza DZ101 Tire (15") 205-50VR15
Falken Azenis RT-615 Tire (15") 205/50R-15
Kumho Ecsta XS Tire (15") 205-50ZR15
Fuzion ZRi Tire (15") 205-50ZR15

My buddy has the Fuzion's and they seem to resist wearing, but when we were playing with dynolicious "G-force" setting for braking they didn't impress me. I don't have any backround on the Dunlops or Kumhos other than they're respectable names. And the reason I favour Falken is because I've had a set of used Falken Ziex ze512's and they lasted 30,000km of pure abuse and improper alignment.

Thanks in advance.

i heard that the Falken Azenis tires are one of the best out there for them im running the fk 452's they are great for street but for track they will wear out fast, The Dunlops i have heard my friend talk about them and he was saying they suppose to be good, as for the kumho's i was looking in on getting them but the falken's had better ratings but the kumhos are cheaper and are prob still good for just street.

I've had the Fuzion ZRi's, they are good in the dry, and not to bad in the wet, plus they are not to expensive.

Much appreciated everyone.. How fast is fast irsdb7? If they last 30,000km then I'll be content. Perhaps some links to Toyo and Yokohama tires?

I have Falken Azenis for my summer, lots of grip in the dry and good in the wet too, but they do wear out fast,(good for a summer or two on the street depending how hard you drive) but for $500 with install/bal/taxes, I'm happy

K I think I'm sold on the Azenis'.. I got separate rims/rubbers for the track so they won't be seeing THAT harsh of an environment, but I'm not usually kind. I enjoy going as fast as my car can handle on highway on-ramps as long as there's nobody in front or behind in case I bail lol That's about it though..
