New Yokohama S.Drive Tires
 
Has anyone tried out the new S.drive tires from yokohama? I hear they are much better than the ES100 they're replacing.

My 17" OEM Goodyears are on they're way out at 19,000 miles. My other choices are the G-forces or Dunlop Sports.

I sure hope so, 'cause IMO those ES100s really sucked. I'm a fan of BFG tires, so I say go with the G-Forces, or better yet, a set of KDW2s. :)

The G-Force tires that I have on my P5 friggin rock. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better that the stock goodyears, little road noise like the goodyear didn't have, and great handling. I have the G-Force Sports, so the pattern is a little more aggressive, but I would recommend them. BFG's and Michellins are usually my tire of choice.

P5s came with Duncraps.

Thanks all - how many miles do you get out of the KDW's and the Sports?

I'm gonna need new summer tires for next year .. this thread looks promising. What about the Spec2 Paradas? Good tires?

you're high.. really high.

The Yokohama AVS ES100s are nice ultra high performance summer tires.

The paradas I never had any respect for since they seemed to be about style more than anything else. Plus they are noisy as hell

I need new summer tires next spring as well.. and new winter tires that I gotta order in a few weeks :'(

Heh .. I edited my post like 5 seconds after I put it up cuz I realized how stupid it was. Yes I not know that the ES100 and the Spec2 Paradas are NOT the same tires. Damn you Kansei for being on top of your shit!!

I think he was just assuming the original poster was a P5 owner .. nothing more. At least I'm not the only one under the influence this morning :)

Why are all of you high and I'm the only one not on drugs for once :P

JoshP5 August-23rd-2007 10:36 AM

Oops, I guess for a minute there I forgot that there are other Mazdas in the world.
