Default Yokohama AVS ES100 - for DE/Street

I gave a brief write up in the DE forum for anyone interested in these tires:

I've use those on my BMW 540i, they're pretty good summer tires, lots of grip,
But...wear fast, and noisy. Would I buy them again...probably not.

They seem to be good for the price, and score average in the Tire Rack Survey.

I'm not really happy with mine. They are forgiving but they lack grip during high speed DE's and rumble like he11 on the street. I'll likely spend more money on better tires when I upgrade to 18's or 19's eventually.

I don't want to steal this thread, but I really like the new Bridgestone RE050A that I recently put on. Exceptional grip.

They worked great on my 951 for street and DE, although at the track they really only lasted about 2 sessions, by the 3rd the were slippery and by the 4th they were toast....although it was mostly from my camber settings. For reference, I was lapping at the same pace as 996's with good drivers. The 951 is very neutral, so on a tail heavy car they may wear faster.
