You will be happy with the RT615. They're legal for street and for the track, it's not a trac only tire by any means.

If you're looking for a sticky tire try the Dunlop Direzza Z1. They are slightly cheaper than the RT615, and are easily on the same performance level. Im running these on my prelude right now for AutoX, and they are an amazing tire.

They have better wet traction than the RT615, and basically the same dry traction as the RT615. The Z1 also has a much stiffer sidewall, so with a heavier car like the prelude, you would be better off with them. Also, the 615's are side specific, so you cant' rotate them from each side, only on one side. Z1's you can do both.

At my AutoX there is done up RSX-S with more power and mods than me (and running brand new RT615s), and he's a good driver as well and I beat him by .2 seconds last AutoX. So the Z1s tires can definitely hang.

are u sure about the side wall on the azenis? They are pretty damn stiff as they are.
