What are you'lls thoughts on Yokohama AVS ES-100....on 18 inch rims... How is the vibration and the ride on these....cause these are what i am getting...

Suggestions???

 

that is what I am looking into as well. Seem to be the best for your dollar!~

 

I had them on my old RSX-S loved them

 

i have them on my 2002 tls.....(17" tires) pretty good!!! shouldnt give you problems!! i paid $110 per tire

 

I'm looking at the Yoko's also, but noticed that the built-in rim protector does not protect the OEM 18" rims with 235 tires. I'm thinking 245's will protect a little better.

 

so should i get them or what....are they the best tires .... what are you'll getting ...

thanks : )

 

i have them on my accord. (refer to pic in sig). nothing but good things to say about them thus far.

 

Excellent tire for the money. I bought a set for my Eclipse Spyder based on Tire Rack's customer reviews and they are exactly as advertised...much better than the Nitto 450's I had before or the POS Eagle RS-A's that came stock.

Depending on how they wear to 20K miles, I plan on making them the next tire on my TL.

Good luck with your decision!

 

fun tires good grip :o) but dissapeared too quick for me on my old car :o)

 

They are the tires that are being put on my A-Spec package

I'll let you know how they are when I get the car tomorrow. -- Tirerack.com rates it 5th within its class of tires - not bad.

 

I have them on my A-SPEC 18s... I really like... obviously there is more road noise, but compared to the NITTO 555 Extremes that I had on my last car, they are a better value. Grips well, and has good lateral support. My NITTO's had a large contact patch, flatter than most, but I still think these AVS's are better. my 2 cents.

 

So overall they are not bad.... please do post how you like them after you get your TL and driven it to get a feel for them....

So far, I have heard positive response about them...

CHEERS!!!

 

I have them on my 18's wheels on my tl with no problems whatsoever... 140mph and no vibration

 

I put about 27k on a set of 225/50/16 AVS ES 100s on my 325i.

They still look relatively new.

I think they are the best value in a performance tire today. That makes them the perfect tire for the TL. I will be picking mine up with the 18s in the Spring.

 

They don't rate that highly at Tirerack and none of the BMW track guys use them. They use S03s, Pilot Sports and F1s, in that order.

 

Best VALUE, not best TIRE.

The ES100 is good performing tire, but it can't hang with S03s and the like, which cost about twice as much.

You don't need SO3s on your TL. If you want to spend the extra cash, great, but unless you are tracking your car or driving at 9/10s or above on the street, you won't be disappointed in the ES 100s.

 

As I've now got three sets of tires, and it snows here in MD, I'm looking to ship these to someone who will get some use out of them. Never been used, new from the Tire Rack. Willing to pay shipping with below market pricing.

 

What size? 245 or 235, 17 or 18?

 

Yeah, whoops...

See the for sale section where I should've posted.. but, they are 235/40ZR18 95W. Still strapped from tire rack shipping.
