Yokohama A/V sport

Went to Discount Tire to take a look at some Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, and BridgeStone Potenza's S03's. Talked to the tech at the desk and he recommended the Yokohama A/V Sport. Anyone know anything about this tire?! I'm super curious, and need some quick recommendations.

225/45/17 is the size I'm shooting for.

Thanks all!!!!

AVS has great grip but its a loud tire and will get worse with wear.

I would try either the Toyo T1-S, great grip , not as loud as AVS, will get louder with wear or the S-03, quieter than the other two, great grip.

Some other top notch tires are Dunlop SP9000 and the Pirelli Pzero Rosso.

1st S03
2nd T1S
3rd Rosso, quietest of the bunch and ride nice.

my mom has those yokohoma's on her RL..

nice grip but its true..its a loud ride and also it wears down preety quick...

but i barely ever heere the tires screech cause its preety grippy.

toyos are nice..but they are so balddd..like be careful..even if its rainy u might run into some trouble.
