I was looking at them before I bought my Avid W4s. My buddy has them on his S4....great tire in the dry. Really incredible in the wet...although I suspect that the Quattro contributed to the grip.
Anyways, seems like a great budget UHP tire!

I picked up the W4S as comfort, noise, and wear was most important to me...and tire rack recommended those over the s.drives.
both have good reviews.
getting my w4s on my new inspyres this weekend!

I have put 1/2 of a mile on my brand new S Drives, lol. Just put the rims on and went around the block to check for rubbing. So far so good! They are 245/30/19 and 225/35/19. I'll give a full initial review for you and everyone else in a couple hours after I hit some twisty's and try a couple holeshots.

These S Drives are the replacement for the horrible ES100s. Please tell me they are way better. I wouln't mind going for them just because the price is good and the tread looks nice. Hopefully Yokohama has fixed the terrible noise problem and tramlining issue with the ES100 while retaining it's really good wet/dry performance.
