Azenis Galoshes = 15" and greater
Azenis rudders = 14"
I agree the 15" Azenis are better than the 14". But the 14" aren't that bad. The key is to have enough pressure in the front (for FWD) to keep them from rolling over - but not too much as to allow them to skate.
Unfortunately, I think the 14" Azenis only comes in a 195 width, but for a 5.5" wide wheel (stock on many Hondas), that's a good fit. Anything wider than 195 is really too much for that width wheel. Stretching a tire wider than 195 onto a 5.5" wheel will pull up the edges and actually reduce your tread width. (At least, that's the theory.)
When I was running in E-Stock and then in G-Stock (when my Integra got reclassified), I used 195/55/14 Kumhos on 5.5 x 14" revolutions and did quite well. Then when I went to STS, I ran the 14" Azenis on the same wheel and felt very comfortable. However, STS allows a non-stock size wheel, so I 'moved up' to the 15" Azenis on a 7" x 15" wheel.
