Default New Rubber and some snow pics!

Well, I got my Yokohama AVS ES100's on yesterday and decided to take a few pics of my dirty *** car in the 'snow'. Car rides and handles much better than the bald *** Kumho's that came with the car. Not the grippiest tire by any means but definatly an improvement.





Whale *****




Why i'm trying to get my windows tinted tomorrow



The damage from getting rear ended a few months back, it's not that bad!





I'm gonna try and clean it tomorrow and maybe take some more pics. Thanks for looking!

You can make out the last digit on your plate. And judging by the digit, it won't be hard to figure out the rest

Enjoy the tires, I may buy a set as everyday wheels and save my Azenis for track use.

We're talking about the same tire, the Yokohama AVS ES100, as discussed in this topic and summarized in this excellent post .

They offer outstanding value for the money - low purchase price, last a long time, great traction on wet roads. Their performance on dry pavement is very good, although not quite as good as some tires that are more expensive and/or don't last as long. However, just like all the high-performance tires mentioned in the post linked here, THEY ARE NOT WINTER TIRES and you can expect their performance to suck on snow. Avoid using them on snow-covered roads if you can; drive another car, get a ride, get a set of winter tires on steelies, etc.
