Tires YOKOHAMA or Barum

There's a really interesting all-season Yokohama tire available (called the Advan S4) in 235/50R17 that is "AA" rated for traction, has a 400 treadwear ratiing, and is one of the least expensive tires in its category and size at $186. Its also rated #1 in the ultra high performance all season category. I'd go with this in a second.

I got about 23,000 miles out of this set of Barums. They have been a great tire.

our options in streetable tires that i know of are: 205 60 14 yokohama es 100

I ran Yokohama A008's back then, since it was only a sunny day/auto-X car.

i have these mounted on my van with roughly 15K miles on them. They are very tough little tires but be warned, they ride like a low-profile tire, so you will feel every crack in the road, especially when inflated to 45-65PSI (they are rated up to 65psi cold, load range-D) the upside is when they are fully inflated, they make your van very stable in sidewinds and going around corners, switching lanes etc....

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!

Have you ever driven a car with Yokohama A032R tires? They're extremely noisy (like an old Toyota 4x4 with big off-road tires) The only thing they're good for is roadracing in the rain, not much else. I've driven a few cars on em and i could actually feel the tread vibration in the body of the car on top of the loud roaring road noise.
