Default i need tire advice

Well, my azenis 215s are coming to an end after about a year of faithfulness, i'm looking for something pretty cheap in 205/50/15 and near the same performance as the azenis, i'd be willing to sacrifice a little performance for better treadlife however.

road noise isn't a big deal to me, but the quieter the better. My driving style has been toned down a little bit though so performance is not quite as demanding.

How long to the kumho 712's last? and also do the kumho mx's last a little longer than the azenis 215? i haven't really looked into the new azenis 615's, i guess i figured they're a little more expensive and i'm trying to save as much as i can.

any tips are appreciated, thanks again!

i run nitto tires and they're great. i'm on my second set, my first set (nt450) lasted about 2 years, i just got the NeoGen's and they make for a sweet ride. best of all they're not all that expensive.

how does the performance of the 512's compare to the 215's or the kumho 712's?

The 512s are an all season tire. Whereas the 215s are summer only. So you guess
