Lightbulb Yokohama Avids

For what it's worth, I recently installed a set of Yokahama tires on my LX and so far, I love them. I have the Sears equivalent of the AVID H4 series. ($80. each). I haven't done much driving in the rain (haven't had much here lately) but they grip well and ride smooth. I have high hopes.

They replaced a very worn set of Firestone Firehawk SZ50's that were great - for about 10,000 miles - then gave up all signs of traction - and tread - by 15,000 miles. Never again.

I decided that I don't need a V or Z rated tire as I never go over 120 mph and the softer rubber compounds, while great for traction and cornering, are short-lived on a daily driver and basically a waste of money if you don't either drag race or road race - a lot.

I wish you well with your new Yokohama's. Let's compare notes in about six months and see how they work out.
