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 .

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 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 would continue to rant but my job here is done !



Have you ever driven an SVT Contour with really good rubber (BFG KDW, S-03, SZ50EP)?

Have you ever driven a performance car hard on a track?

The Yokos feel just like those tires with 25psi and a thin layer of armor-all on the tread.

If you are comparing only to Kumho 712, then I'd understand your comments.
