Yokohama Advan Sport Tires on 19" OEM Wheels

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

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 had them on my E92 M3

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.

What's ur opinion vs the nitto? An the ad08 in general?

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.
