i love my yokohama avs es100. should be in ur range for the 225/45/17. my 225/40/18 were $143 a piece i believe. i love them. we have them on our 600whp prelude, my roomates s2000....i have nothing but good things to say about them.
At 1,100 miles replaced the 18 w/Contis with 20"Cayenne rims w/Yokohama AVS S/Ts. It tracks like an arrow now!
We just got some ES-100's for my wifes Jetta. They are replacing Nitto NT-450's and are VERY superior! Nice ride quality, pretty quiet, excellent traction. I've worked with tires for most of my life and can tell you that Yokohama makes a quality product.
Tirerack just imported the Yokohama AVS ES 100 in that size and that tire is rated UHP! ....And actually I got a set and put 2.ooo miles so far on them, so I could start saying that for 73$ per tire it's maybe the best you can do. The are very quiet and very sticky, and side wall is so stiff, u feel u have upgraded wheels too!
I had 15" steelies on my car originally - ran Yoko AVS dB in 205/60/15. Gigantic improvement over the stock rubber (Goodyear Eagle LS 195/65/15). Great dry and wet traction - a lot of fun on the twisties.
The 17" Wheels on the MCS weigh 25 lbs. The 17" Runflats weigh 25 lbs. SO 50 lbs a corner. I went to the MINI R84 16" wheels and the Yokohama AVS ES100 205/50 R16's and saved 70 lbs of rotating weight.
The 378's are great, very quiet and great in rain/snow (were my snows until I changed cars). The RE930's are really nice - quiet, but not as quiet as the 378's, perhaps a bit more responsive - but are a little more worn.
I have Yokahama AVS dB's on my Q45. They are quite possibly the best tire I've owned on any car.
I just purchased a set of Yokohama AVSdb tires for a 99 Jetta GLS and they are awesome! Nice handling, great in the rain, and not expensive.
Have you ever driven a car with Yokohama A032R tires? They're extremely noisy (like an old Toyota 4x4 with big off-road tires) The only thing they're good for is roadracing in the rain, not much else. I've driven a few cars on em and i could actually feel the tread vibration in the body of the car on top of the loud roaring road noise.
