Yokohoma AVS ES-100 Tire Review
Treadware: 280
Traction: AA
Temperature: A
Size Tested: ZR 215/40/17
Click here for Large Version
Test Vehicle: 1993 Honda Prelude VTEC with Koni Adjustables (yellows) and RSR Linear Down Springs. 1.5inch drop.
These tires are much better than my Nitto 555 Extremes , From rain traction , to dry traction and launches. Input is great. From what I hear the nittos are pretty stiff and the response seems about the same. The ride is also much better.
The tire sports a rim guard , nice sidewall design & agressive tread design.
Heres some info from tirerack.com:
