Post Yoko AS430 Tires

New tires are needed, and I give the Michelin MXM4s a big for handling in all kinds of weather. I called NTB, and they said that the Yoko AS430 Tires were better than the Michelin's, at 60% of the cost. Comments on tires?

Yoko Avid V4S is the only way to fly (assuming you still want All-Season).

That's what I have on the front of my CLS (haven't killed the 2 oems in the rear), but I'm always interested in hearing about tires in the 215/50/17 size.

A blast from the past - almost 3 years later, but I think the info may be worth to people.

The Yoko AS430 are still available in our size from select distributors, and are spec'd to match TSX perfectly! The full spec goes 215/50R17 93V M+S XL, 500 AA/A UTQG rating. And, yes, extra load, too, which seems to be harder to find. Also, 500 AA/A *extra load* is different from the 440 AA/A that I found on some other boards, which may be a more current updated spec.

I can probably post a sidewall picture if someone is interested.
