Hi everyone,
I am about to be getting me a set of 18 inch bbs ch's for my Mcoupe and i'm considering gettitng the new yokohoma avs es100 tires. they look like a nice tire for the money, i was wondering if anyone has any info or experience with these, or has a better recommendation in the same price range. I was also considering kumho 712. Thanks in advance. ( I'm currently running SO'3's on stock wheels, but i cant afford that kinda rubber for as fast as i go through them. Thanks again,

JEFF

wow, those ch's will look nice on the mcoupe. the new yokos should be as good or better than the kumhos. they won't have the wet/dry grip as the so3's, but they are cheaper and will probably last longer.

There's a sidebar in the current (Nov 2002) issue of Grassroots Motorsports. They though they performed similarly to the Kumho 712, along with Yokohama's good predictability. Price seems pretty good on them too.

thanks alot for the reply,
now considering they should be as good or better than the kumho, do you think it is worth the extra money, its about $30 more per tire??? Thanks alot for the replys!
