azenis are far from garbage tires. any tires wears out quick if you don' have an alignment.
you can't expect a tire with as much grip as azenis to last as along as say a General Exclaim UHP.
rule of thumb: the stickier the tire, the shorter the life. why do you think race cars go through more than 1 set of tires per race?
that's why i'm getting another set of rims and some potenza RE-11's. better tires for track and i can keep my street tires for a long time.

Im just looking for the cheapest tires. Im only going to track it once this summer. and you can never take corners fast at cayuga because you can never gain speed and fly by people.
. but really you should take it off. its like 3 like 12 mm bolts.

LOL.. Have you ever owned a set of Azenis' ?? We'll go to the track together, I'll put on my stock suspension and you can run your coils with your falkens and I'll rape your face :P And I loooove Bridgestone Potenzas.. I'm rolling around on 6 year old Potenzas right now cuz my rims are being prepped for powder-coating 
And these Potenzas still got lots of meat left.. They're currently my track tire. My Azenis' are coming from UPS tomorrow morning from Vulcan as well. $110/tire and that's factoring in shipping, currency and ups' freight charges. I couldn't get this tire local for under $120 -.-

Picking up a nice EM Racing rear trunk tower strut from Buff. cant wait to buy it.
also a extended shifter(some of you know i am converting to 5speed), so this will come handy at cayuga

you can pass people on the straights. that's if you're faster than them in the straights. don't think you can dive inside on some at a corner, you'll get your *** kicked and then kicked out.

I dotn know man, the filter isnt hard to get to. Just one turn with a set of pliers or the oil wrench and you can turn it with your hand after .
But Im gonna have to agree with the tires though. You said you dont really care about it you just want cheap tires....theyre not gonna work for ---- at a track. Might as well buy some used Azenis for cheap. They'll work better than new shitty all seasons. theyre designed to be used heavily. They burn out quick yes...does that mean theyre ----? nope.
also while youre at it, get a decent set of pads. Depending how hard you go on a track they might be out by the end of the course.
Sweet, hankooks are nice. Is that a summer tire?
I want a set of summers So I can get rid of these all seasons ANYONE WANT THEM? theyre new. Straight trade...your 15's summers for my 15's all seasons

everytime i do an oil change i dont tighten it that hard...i tighten it enough to stay on then when it comes to changing it i can use my left or right and its and simple twist off, worst case would be get a rubber gloves for no slip.
