Yokohama AVS Sports - Good/Bad???

Can I get some opinions about the Yoko AVS sports??? How are they? do they perform well? How do they compare to other max performance tires?

Pros & Cons???

I hear they grip well, but treadwear (rated @ 180) is horrible...

I'm looking for 235/35/19 & 265/30/19 Combo....

Lastly, does anyone know the weights for these tires in that combo?

Thanks!
Danny

Luke,
based on memory, I believe you only have 3 different tires that would work for me, right?

Yokohama AVS Sport
Dunlop P9000
Pirelli PZero Nero

What is your ranking for these?

Can you tell me their respective weights too? Thanks!

on my clk, with the same avs tires and size as your set up, lowered with H&R, i found it to rub quite abit. Performance was decent. I switched back to the Toyo same size and have near to no rubbing at all, which I am more found of all around.

sounds like you have wheels with an offset that is too low

sounds like ur car might be lowered more than mine.

with a 2" drop, i'm noticing minimal contact with the inside of the fenderwell cover... just a little... but it doesn't make contact with my fenders or anything. I think an additional 2mm spacer would have corrected the problem for me.
