i have the avs es 100s there really good performance wise but there a very soft tire.. so if you want long lasting their probably not the tire for you.. thats all i know really just trying to help haha

The AST is a crappy All-Season tire and the AVS ES100 is an excellent bang for the buck Ultra-High Performance Summer tire. To determine a good choice for you though we would need to know exactly what you are looking for from a tire.

Assuming (from your location) that you don't need to use these tires in snow, get a good, inexpensive summer tire like the Kumho SPT or Yokohama ES100.
