They're VERY new... so you'll probably have trouble finding any sort of long-term reviews on them... I guess you'll have to be the one to tell us.

They are set up kinda like the paradas. I have seen them for 94 a tire which isnt to bad. As far as reviews go I heard anything bad. There has been alot of hype for them.

So far we've been getting lots of "parada killer" comments about this tire.

By the way guys, each manufacturer measures treadware ratings differently so they cant be compared from one brand to another. They are used to compare tires only within a brand.

Depends on which ones, and what you intend to do with them

Falken 502's not all that great (Ive ran on the street with these)
Flaken 512's decent tire (I run these on the steet, Much Much better then the 502)
Flaken Azenis Sports.....One of the best Dry traction tires out right now. I have a set for autocross, and they are absolutly amazing! Get them warm and they stick almost as good as an Race compound tire. the down side is that they are noisy, and they will not last long (Around 10,000 miles). this tire is 7 years old in japan and is due for a replacement soon.

You are comparing two different type tires. The Avid is a touring tire with LONG tread life but little grip. The Neo Gen is an all season high performance tire. The avid is H rated and the Neo is V and Z rated. The Neo is going to grip MUCH better.
