Thumbs up Review: Yokohama AVID Touring Tires!

*WOW*.. thats all i can say,

I just replaced my no-name brand 205/60/15 tires on my 92 300e with a set of Yokohama AVID Touring tires from TireRack (only $45/tire!).. These tires are QUIET!...and SMOOTH! i now have the vibration-free, supple ride my MB so deserves!.. Kudos to Yokohama on making such an enjoyable tire at such a LOW price...
For anyone wanting a long-lasting (80k miles), smooth riding, quiet tire , check out the Yokohama AVID Touring tire. My rating= 2 thumbs up

I got this from tirerack for my sisters Mazda protege. All I can say is this is one exceptional value tire, it has no competition in its class. Very very well behaved. None of the other Avids come close to it and they're more expensive...its amazing and its S rated
Unfortunately I drive way too fast for this kind of tire on the Benz but if you're a leisurely driver this tire is pretty good I agree.

I just got a set of these from Luke. For about $70 (after shipping and mounting) a tire, they really exceded my expectations. Even if they last half as long as they're supposed to (I think the pro-rated warrenty goes to 80,000 miles), I'll definitely get them again. Good fuel mileage, smooth ride, and they handle the Cross-Bronx with ease.
