What do you all think about the Yokohama AVS Intermediate?

 

i'm on my second set.


overall: GREAT traction on dry roads.
after 8k miles (or a few track events with like 5k normal) traction is limited on even dry.
and on wet it sucks nuts.

but. u can't beat the price. esp with discount tire company sales the 235/45/17 Z for like $100 sometimes

 

so not very noisy and good handling? Tire rack had them for 76 bucks for my stock 15inchers... I wanted new rims, but i couldnt convince the parents =(

 

noise is not an issue when you've got crappy roads like here in Los angeles. u wont hear anything except your suspension compessing all the time and the jiggles from the cabin.

only once have i driven on a neatly paved road (irvine) with the windows down, and its just beautiful..

no whir whir whir noise .. etc.

 

Yep, I agree with Cheston. The AVS are damn good, but they wear out quickly. They're very sticky. I don't have them on my Max (currently running Yokohame Avid V4s), but I had them on my CRX and Z28. The F-Body guys swear by them. They say they hook up nearly as good as drag radials. I may put them on my stock 15s.

Ok, i am going to beusing these as my summer tire though, not for racing, just everyday use. SO are they good in rain, etc?
