Tire pics.
Too bad they don't have them for the stock wheels.
You notice it looks like they lifted the S03 tread pattern a bit on the inside part of the tire?

The tread patttern is very aggressive. What you can't see in the pic very well is that the grooves are V shaped. Also, some of the grooves are not very deep. IMO, this tire is made to be shaved. As the tire is shaved or wears, there will be considerably more rubber on the road and the tread blocks will increase in size.

Well shit they start at 8/32nds I would not not to be shaving them much more, if they are anything like the RT215s when they wear they will get hard as shit. Be lucky if you get 6000-7000 miles out of them.
I have had the old Azenis on my Civic for about 5000 miles and about 40 autocross runs and they are still very sticky. I actually achieved 1.03g of sustained cornering force(according to the g-tech) on them a few weeks ago on a dusty parking lot in an autocross. Not bad for a 92 Civic.
