Anyone have any experience with the Yokohama Avid Ascend tires? My friend wants to get them on his car and I was considering getting them on mine as well after reading the information on them.
Also, they don't have 215/45-17, so 225/45-17 should be fine right? Anyone have pics of 225/45 on the stock Si wheels?
Yokohama claims that the tires, utilizing orange oil rather than petroleum-based oils, drive smoother and quieter on straight roads (I live in FL so most roads are very straight) which saves a few MPG and has a treadwear rating of 740 with a unlimited mile 5-year warrantee covering the treadlife. Then, when lateral pressure is applied (turning) the tires heat up and becoming much stickier to the pavement. Kind of a hybrid between performance and gas mileage/low ride noise. My friend supposedly read that 30 years of research went into making these tires with orange oil.
