They suck in the dry.

They don't really squeal, they just let go.

I get wheel hop in the dry.
I get wheelspin in the wet.

I regret buying them because I'm stuck with them for the next 4 years.

Do not buy these tires. I'm afraid to drive fast in the rain.

whats this guy smoking ? it must be that breathing dragon. you need too puff puff pass that s**t !

the yoko avs es100 are a great dry tire. i just had a set on my stock e1 wheels and they stick like glue . really man what the heck are you talking about .

i'll agree that there not the best wet tire. but hey for $94 dollar a tire retail what do you expect .

as far as dry handling goes i give them two big thumbs up way up !!! these things stick and i really rag on my car in the corners and i have had no trouble . if you know how to drive. dont forget about centrifical force. as long as your not a total bone head and can half way drive there a great tire . expecally if your ballin on a budget.

in dry there very hard to make squeel in the corners . they just stick. and even when you do push them to the limit that they squeel they DO NOT SLIP its all grip!!!
what where you doing when they lossed traction on you ????

i've had the car with stock suspension going around and hairpin on ramp to the freeway and they at like 90+ mph in the middle or the corner accelerating out of the apex. they only squeeled when pushed to the limit and they stuck like glue.
this was the only time i was woried about losing it and the tires stuck point blank and period .

i really hope you know what the apex of a corner is!

in the wet they do slide a bit but there not a wet tire. who actually pushes there car in the rain. i sure as heck dont.

do you even wear your seat belt ? i sure hope you do or else your just a projectile.

yes. you get all kind of wheel hop when launched at high rpm's thats my main complaint but hey its a very stick tire again what do you expect.

i feel sorry for anyone who has kumo supra 712 on their car they look kinda cool but are just glazed dounut tires. the suck a lot. i hate it for you.

the yoko avs es100's i had where 225-45-16 on the stock 6.5" e1 rims there about as wide as you can go and have absolutly no rub ever ! i've put 15K mile on the set i had and there worn out now but it sure was fun while the rid lasted . i would recommend these tire to anyone looking for a budget high performance dry tire !

i would continue to rant but my job here is done !
