i have these mounted on my van with roughly 15K miles on them. They are very tough little tires but be warned, they ride like a low-profile tire, so you will feel every crack in the road, especially when inflated to 45-65PSI (they are rated up to 65psi cold, load range-D) the upside is when they are fully inflated, they make your van very stable in sidewinds and going around corners, switching lanes etc....
I love the AVS ES100's..I have 3 sets of them on the past 2 car's I've owned...they're an awesome wet tire & dry tire....but they're not as grippy as the azeni's...
I was told to run right around 40psi in my Continental ExtremeContact tires. I was running about 38 in my Michelins with no adverse effects.
Yokohama AVS 100 - just put them on my wife's Cabrio and I am JEALOUS! Her car is bone-stock and the handling has vastly improved! I highly recommed these tires as far as handling and driving comfort are concerned. No idea about tread wear, since they're only 1000 miles old.
i love my yokohama avs es100. should be in ur range for the 225/45/17. my 225/40/18 were $143 a piece i believe. i love them. we have them on our 600whp prelude, my roomates s2000....i have nothing but good things to say about them.
At 1,100 miles replaced the 18 w/Contis with 20"Cayenne rims w/Yokohama AVS S/Ts. It tracks like an arrow now!
The Continental ContiExtreme Contacts are awesome. In my opinion, they are the best kept secret out there for someone who wants a high-performance all-season tire.
I'll second the continentals. I have them on my car for 2000 miles now and I think they are a great tire, good traction in all conditions. I had 205/50's on my car before and to me, they look too small in the wheel well. Just my opinion.
I got 205/55/15 Continental ContiExtreme Contact from Tire Rack. I think they were $68/tire. Best all-season performance tire for the price. Great dry,wet, and snow traction.
We just got some ES-100's for my wifes Jetta. They are replacing Nitto NT-450's and are VERY superior! Nice ride quality, pretty quiet, excellent traction. I've worked with tires for most of my life and can tell you that Yokohama makes a quality product.
