My 19" OEM Multispokes came with Yokohama Advan Sports. I'm thinking of swapping them out for Michelin Pilot Sports.

Anyone here have any real world experience with the Yokohama's? Any good?

Thanks

I had yoko AVS sports on my e46 and they were like glue (in the warm weather, that is)...not sure about the advans tho...

Mine also came with Yokos AVS Sport, I heard good reviews about them.. And tireracks sells them for more than the Contis, so it might means something good!

I swapped out the PS's for advan sports-they were smoother and quieter not quite as glued down. Now the AD08's are another story-those are serious tires. Very sticky-like slicks on a go-cart. It really depends what you are going to do with the car-if you want to track it without changing out wheels and tires every time hard to beat the AD08's.

Cool that you bring this up ! Getting new forgestars and want to wrap em in aggressive rubber first wanted nitto nt05's and them read YOko owned nitto and YOko was the better company and the ad08 better than the nt05's and they also have a better front size 255/35 instead of 245/35 .. What's ur opinion vs the nitto? An the ad08 in general?

To OP, did u ended up buying ur OEM 19's from alloywheeldirect or u found a used set locally?

I have no experience with the Nittos. I really liked the AD08's. If I wanted a tire to go from the street to the track and back I would choose it hands down. They were not terrible in the noise and harshness area but I don't think they would be very good in the rain-more rubber than sipes. If I wanted a dedicated track tire I like the Toyo RA1's. Very sticky but track only. I am planning to change my Conti's on the AMG to PSS's soon. Mainly based on size issues. Make sure you check that you can fit 255's on the front (search the threads on this topic) you might have rubbing issues.

Long story... I was originally buying the wheels for a car that I had put a deposit down on. Dealer ended up trashing the engine somehow, so I didn't take delivery. Had an order placed with alloywheelsdirect and I cancelled it.

The next C63 I bought had the Multispokes on from the factory, so I didn't need to buy them separately.
