i just bought a set of those tires and am satifsifed with them so far, both dry and wet. they aren't super sticky but they hold much better than the stock Goodyears F1's, and they don't 'squeal' like the goodyears. i have no complaints with them so far. they are excellent in the rain from what i can tell also. for 130(what i bought mine for) i don't think you can buy a better tire.

Not much else to compare them to. Maybe Avons? For the price, tough to beat. What size??

I have the Yokohamma A550V. It was the only tire I could get on a sunday when the front tire blew and I wanted all new tires. It is a good dry/rain tire. Sucks in snow & not too good at the track. 2.0 - 60'. 12.8 @ 110 Treadlife seems decent. I need soe nitto's for the track.

Firestone Firehawk Wideoval looks worth investigating to me.

I had a set of AVS ES100's on my old '01 Mustang GT. I liked the tires a lot for the price. For what you pay for them they are a great daily driving tire. They hook decent and don't give you any problems in the rain. Road noise is very minimal if any at all. Tread pattern looks kinda cool and the sidewalls are nice and stiff. I had 245/45/17's on a 17x8" wheel. I'd recommend the tire for a budget performance tire. Better then a Khumo Ecsta 712 for not too much more.
