Tires YOKOHAMA or Kumho

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

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 have a GLS v6 tip with Kumho 7400series snow tires. I'm very happy with them. No problems what so ever

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 15" steelies on my car originally - ran Yoko AVS dB in 205/60/15. Gigantic improvement over the stock rubber (Goodyear Eagle LS 195/65/15). Great dry and wet traction - a lot of fun on the twisties.

The 17" Wheels on the MCS weigh 25 lbs. The 17" Runflats weigh 25 lbs. SO 50 lbs a corner. I went to the MINI R84 16" wheels and the Yokohama AVS ES100 205/50 R16's and saved 70 lbs of rotating weight.

The 378's are great, very quiet and great in rain/snow (were my snows until I changed cars). The RE930's are really nice - quiet, but not as quiet as the 378's, perhaps a bit more responsive - but are a little more worn.

I have Yokahama AVS dB's on my Q45. They are quite possibly the best tire I've owned on any car.

I've got the Ecsta Supra 712's (15") and they seem OK. Maybe because I don't have much experience with different types of tires, but they seem to slide a bit on hard turns. They also wear fairly quick.

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.
