I assume you mean for road race use?

they're all pretty good.

i'd rank them as follows:

hoosier rs304
toyo ra1
kumho v700
yokohama a032r
michelin pilot sport cup

I have just mounted the Advan AO32R soft compounds on Gram Lights 57S rims for the track in a 205/50/15. I will be at the track all day tomorrow and will come up with a short review when I get back. ;)

azenis aren't really up to par with the rest of those tires for all out road course use. they're an excellent auto-x tire, but will overheat after the first lap on a road course.

the soft compound? why? that's their auto-x compound. unless you've done some serious weight reduction to your car, they won't hold up very well at all on the road course. esp if you didn't shave & heat cycle them. the H compound is for road course use.

The solo I events we run are a 1 warm-up lap, 3 flying lap, one cool-down lap format. I thought the soft compound would be the best for this 'quick out of the box' style application. I guess I'll find out!!! ;)
