For $10, I'd stick with the Azenis.
it's more like $40
but you've had both & prefer the new azenis? & as nunyo said i'm not really hurting for straight line acceleration due to the awd. you're confusing me man, you say the kooks corner really well but then say the azenis are more grippy. is that more grippy in just straight stuff or also cornering? i know the kooks will be less responsive for transitions due to the softer sidewall but keep the recommendations coming
