I now have somewhere around 12-13k on my Yokohoma AVS ES100 and they are almost at the wear bars, or already there, on all four corners. I was going to go a little longer but I scraped a curb and sliced a flap in the front right sidewall. I know I need to replace at least 2 tires but will probably go ahead and get 4. I want something with a little longer treadlife. I remember some people recommending Kumhos. Were they the ECSTA Supra 712 or were they some other tire? Also, any additional recommendations for a performance summer tire (it never snows down here) would be great. Thanks!

 

Nitto NT-450. Or check Tom's post in this forum. He just bought some Sumitomo's (sp?) and seems happy with them. After riding on Nitto 450s and 555s it would take a lot of work to convince me to buy anything else.

 

I've heard the 712's are a really nice tire for the price. They last forever! The downside is a really stiff sidewall, perhaps a harsher ride quality than a premium brand tire.

CM.

 

Any other comments on the 712's? I really need something that will last longer than my Yokos did. The Nitto's look really nice but they are a little too expensive compared to others. TireRack doesn't carry them???? Will I regret going to an all-season tire from a strictly performance tire?

 

get the falkens in my signature. they ride smooth and quiet. check the reviews.

oops

 

TireRack didn't carry em when I bought each of my last sets but Discount does. They were $124 per tire for 245/45/17 in the 555. The 450 in a 225/50/16 was only like 93 a tire. I don't know what you're looking to spend but that they're a really good value for the $$.

 

Now I am just thinking about buying Yokos again. I really like the tires and I can't even find a bad review on them on tirerack. I thought those Falkens had terrible tread wear?

 

you will hate yourself if you buy all season tyres

 

im fixin to buy the contiextremes contacts and the reviews on tirerack are really good, 9.1 out of 10 with about a 100 reviews,i'ma have em on my car wendesday hopefully, but if you can wait, i can let you know how they are personally, they do look like really good tires

 

I just couldn't buy anything buy my Yoko AVS ES100's again. I ordered 4 more this morning. Hopefully I will get a little longer treadwear out of these and I will be doing more highway driving. They should be here wednesday.

 

Good choice

I absolutly love my AVS sports
