Anyone know about these tires? I was going to use them year round in the Northeast (I have been advised against Toyos).

Also, how well do think 235/45's will fit on my 2K max?
(New 17X8 wheels of course).

Thanks a million for the help.

I had these tires in 17's. They are awesome in wet weather. However, during the winter months here in Oklahoma, I literally got stuck at an intersection that was FLAT!!! I was just spinning, didn't matter what I did. They suck azz in the winter.....if you are looking for a awesome high performance all season tire, they don't exist. I just invested in a set of Proxes T1-S's, and they look like wet/dry traction is outstanding, but as far as snow, I'm gonna be riding on 15" steel wheels. I suggest you just invest in some kick *** summer tires, and then some cheap 15" winter tires and some steel wheels.

Thanks for input. Maybe I'll look at Michelin XGT's.

So far I ran almost 6k miles on my Yokohama AVS db tires here in NJ and had the chance to test it out this January/Febuary (aka dead of winter). Remeber, whenever you get z-rated tires in any brand, they are nearly useless in snow. Yokohama avs db tires are awesome in dry/wet conditions... grips tight on turns etc. Quietest set of tires I've ever had. BUT comes wintertime, any snowfall over 2.5", don't even bother taking the car out, you'll be stuck somewhere.

I'm glade to hear these are good. I just ordered them in 18" by 10 for a corvette. At that size, all Zr tires cost $$$, and this one looked to be the best performance value.
