Tires Pirelli or YOKOHAMA

I love the AVS ES100's..I have 3 sets of them on the past 2 car's I've owned...they're an awesome wet tire & dry tire....but they're not as grippy as the azeni's...

Yokohama AVS 100 - just put them on my wife's Cabrio and I am JEALOUS! Her car is bone-stock and the handling has vastly improved! I highly recommed these tires as far as handling and driving comfort are concerned. No idea about tread wear, since they're only 1000 miles old.

i love my yokohama avs es100. should be in ur range for the 225/45/17. my 225/40/18 were $143 a piece i believe. i love them. we have them on our 600whp prelude, my roomates s2000....i have nothing but good things to say about them.

At 1,100 miles replaced the 18 w/Contis with 20"Cayenne rims w/Yokohama AVS S/Ts. It tracks like an arrow now!

i've put about 2000 miles on a set, and I like em a lot better than the Michelin Pilots that came stock... IMO, they are slightly nosier on the road, but not loud by any stretch. The noise may also be a side effect of siping the tires. Really good grip in the dry and the wet. They were OK in the one snow storm that left anything on the ground this year. Definately not a 'real' snow tire though.

We just got some ES-100's for my wifes Jetta. They are replacing Nitto NT-450's and are VERY superior! Nice ride quality, pretty quiet, excellent traction. I've worked with tires for most of my life and can tell you that Yokohama makes a quality product.

I pull consistant low 2.2 on Pirelli p7000's with an open diff.... Best of 2.202, just a beotch hair from 2.1

Tirerack just imported the Yokohama AVS ES 100 in that size and that tire is rated UHP! ....And actually I got a set and put 2.ooo miles so far on them, so I could start saying that for 73$ per tire it's maybe the best you can do. The are very quiet and very sticky, and side wall is so stiff, u feel u have upgraded wheels too!

I had 205-5015 khumos 712 esctas on 15x7 and they where wonderfull now I have yokohama YK420 195-50-15 they are fair and grip just fine for H rated tires...

im saorry to disagree,but you couldnt pay me to use p700z's again,i hate them,i had a pair and they never felt sticky enough,they do last a long time though,i think the only time they were any good(for me)was when i got them really warm,i didnt like them for autocross at all
