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.

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

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 ****!!

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
