Falken Azenis FK510

I realize I'm going to catch a lot of crap for this, but has anyone tried the Falken Azenis FK510 on their 718? I still have the OEM P-Zeros on my 718 CS with about 20k miles on them. They need to be replaced. I understand that the Michelin PS4S is the benchmark, but they are fairly expensive. I also realize we drive expensive vehicles, and tires are probably not the best place to save money, but the Falken Azenis' seems like a viable option. As you might infer from the 20k+ on the OEM P-Zeros, I don't drive my 718 very hard on public roads - few canyon runs, but nowhere near the limit(s). I use a separate set of wheels and tires for the track. From my reading on Tirerack.com, it appears the Azenis are not quite as highly rated overall, but put down almost identical numbers in the wet. And the price is literally half compared to the PS4S's. Curious to hear what others have to say about this....

Why is it that everyone wants to get rid of the oem tires asap? I just replaced my oem Pzeros with Pzeros again. The PZ's were very quiet and the handling was excellent. And Pirelli isn't a known cheapie mfgr by any means. Ive read far too many posts where someone changed brands due to a forum poster's claim of excellence/mileage/quietness/etc. and been very disapppointed. If you have PZ's (or any other oem tire), if you like them why not keep them? Grass is always greener I guess. Rant over.

I don’t like PZ’s. Porsche done a financial deal to put Pirelli tyres on your model. Just like Michelin tyres for my model, it has nothing to do with them been the best tyres.
