first one up - Dunlop SP sport FM901 - i think sprint picked these up not to long ago. good price, nice looking tread pattern, average driving life expectancy ???

last is the Yokohama AVS SPORT - i have alwaysed like these tires. i think a handful of max guys have bought these. whats the mileage life on these??

making a purchase this week. any inputs apprecatied.

I have 235/40/18 AVS Sport on my 98



the tyres seem to be wearing quite well and the grip that they deliver is absolutly phenomenal. I highly reccomend these tyres

AVS-ES100's are great tires had some of those. I'm running S-03's and love them. They even hold up fairly well. I will get two summers out of them for sure.
