Tires YOKOHAMA or DEBICA

I actully live in the New England area and I was using a set of Yokohama Iceguards and they performed fantastic, lasted 3 whole winters. Great tires.

I still have my summer wheels and tires left from when I traded my B5 A4 in on my GTI. I bought these wheels new from a dealership a couple of years back, and they have two summers on them, as do the tires. The wheels are in perfect shape, with no curbage, scratches, or defects of any kind at all.

Yes Street - 245/40/17 Yoko S-Drive (`3mm clearance on inside to clips on suspension, no rubbing at all) Track - 235/40/17 Toyo RA1 (best size I could get RA1s a the time)

I put some Yokohama A008's and new shocks on it and I was off. Like the 914 it had nearly 50-50 weight distribution, and relatively stable RWD handling.

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.

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...

I have Yokohama AVSDBs they are pretty bad in the snow But fun in empty parking lots
