Default Yoko's AVS ES100 tires...whatcha think?

They are a good price for what your getting. Finding it very hard to find a negative review online. Great wet or dry grip and wear. Stiff sidewalls.

At $211 a tire they seem to be the best price for a high performance. 245-45ZR-18s.

I think going to a $240+ tire is just insane for someone who spends most there time on the highway and not at the track.

How do they compare to the Potenza's on the Z now? Personally I think the Potenza's are too quick to squeal and break loose.

thats not a real huge tire, should be able to get them for 200 or less

S03s are 210, goodyear eagle F1 are 198, stock RE040 are 210 as well.

you should not be paying over 210$ for any tire in that size unless its runflat.

Ah yes! The Eagle F1s...had those before and loved them.

I was hoping to get a slightly softer tire this time around though. Something to help the ride a bit. But not kill all my high performance.

YOu might also want to look into the S0-3's. THey are about the same price and seem to be about equal in performance to the old Pilot Sports (about $280 each) that were on the car before.
