Yes, it is rumored that the new Yokohama Advan Sports are better than the PS2's. I'm going to try them out on my new wheels.

From what I understand the tires haven't been out that long. I've only read one review so far. Is anyone else running them? Do you like them?

Hell, I'll be a test MULE (i.e. ***), if you guys show concensus!! I was to order my tires in the next few days, so I'd be happy to test them out. Only problem is, I can only compare them to the crappy Contis that came on it. I figure they are tires and I'll smoke em off in 5 - 8K miles, anyway!!

E55
547r

thanks for your comments, i really like the new look of my car.

and YES they are 547R not 541R, dunno what i was thinking...
19x8.5 (245) front
19x10 (275) rear
gun metal color

anyway, the ADVAN sport tires i have are pretty good. i have had PS2 before, i dunno if i can say ADVAN sport is pS2's daddy, but all i can say is ADVAN sport is as good as PS2 if not better. i would recommend ADVAN sport if you are looking for new tires since its new to the market. PS2 have been around for a while now.

http://www.advan.com/products/advansport.html

it was lowered by a local shop in HK. i have no other mods.
going to change the pulley and upgrade the amplifier soon.

Awesome car. As usual, the silver on black combo never gets old.

Did you buy the E55 in HK? Musta cost a fortune.
