I'am looking for new tire for the car and I'am very tempted by the yokohama AVS ES 100. I have the stock tires for an 84 944 (215 60 R15) therefore there isn't alot of choice in the summer tires category. I have looked at Pirelli P6000, but they are more expensive.

Any commentary on that particular tire or any recommendation for other tires in that size?

Thank you for your time

I have used the P6000. They are more like a grand touring tire than the previous generation P6. They have a very stable tread, but also very soft sidewalls. I think Yoks are more of a performance tire, ie autocross, because they have a stiffer sidewall.

I have the ES 100's on my 951. Nice tire and good bang for the buck.

They're really good in the dry.
They're somewhat good in the wet.
They're really CRAP in the snow.

ie. a good, affordable summer performance tire!

In that size, I would definetely go for the AVS ES 100. They got very good reviews in a Road and Track test. Now, if you want to go up to a 225/50 15 there is the Bridgestone Potenza S03. I'll be ordering a set of these in a few weeks. Excellent in the wet, excellent in the dry, with a W speed rating. Downside is they are 130 apiece which is about 50 more than the ES 100.

thanks you everyone

You are confirming what I thought.

For snow driving like SCHLAG said , don't worry, the car has never seen snow, it will not see snow for as long has I own the vehicule.
