Man, I can't believe the tire wear on those things are 160. That's insane. Do they really perform _that much_ better than the Yoko AVS Sports or the Michelin Pilot Sports?

They're a little less than double the price. Crazy.

The price will likely come down as they get more tires in inventory.

Hey West Side - did you decide to buy an Evo yet, or are you waiting for the STI to compare against?

I am still not convinced that the stock Evo will beat up a stock S2000 around a track, but it definately has some torque and some nice ¼ mile abilities.

I'm waiting for profit sharing and OT so I can afford one

A friend of mine has one, I'll probably borrow it for a weekend to see how much I like it...

I was looking at the ES100 it has the same tread pattern as the Yoko DNA Grand Prix's I have now. Great tires.

What?? Ultra high performance for 046

Max performance for yok-avs sports?

Almost $60 more for lower rated tires. Is that a typo? Thought the 046 would fall under max performance with it's 160 thread wear

I'm not sure how they split Max/Ultra-High. Some of the Ultra-high tires are better than some of the max perfs...

Anyone put the "famous" Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position tires on their car and tried them out yet? Their reputation is kick ***, so I'm just wondering...
