Wow I can't believe you guys think 712 have good traction!
I know many people the got them to save money and regretted it. Make no mistake, there is one good thing about 712.... $... that's it. Oh and don't forget that they're terrible in the rain.
Get the Azenas. Fantastic in the dry (even competitive as a race tire), and as good as the 712's in the rain (as long as you keep the speed down in heavy rain).
But if you've got the cash get T1-s. I liked them so much they are the first set of street tires I've but more than one set of in my life. In they dry they're great and in the wet they're even greater.
In the rain I can get enough grip from my T1-s to lift a wheel.
