New tires!!!

[240ZX]

Just replaced my worn out Yokohama A520's with a set of the new Yokohama AVS AE100's. I'm running 215-40x17" front & 235-40x17" rear. I love the A520's, as they have great turn-in responce and great traction, but they are a bit noisy and tend to follow road irregularities. The new AVS AE100's seem to have the same kind of traction, with a slower turn-in responce, but are much smoother, quieter, and don't follow the road irregularities nearly as much. Overall I'm quit happy with these tires. They are used mostly for spirited canyon cruising here in SoCal. Ok, I know there are probably better choices if you want to run autocross but my toy is just that....a street toy!

Come on, lets here what all you guys are running and what you think about tire preference and performance.

Back February, I put a set of Falken Ziex ZE-512's on my 240. I'm running 205-60/R14's on ZX 6-spokes. Now these aren't necessarily the best for AutoX, but they make for an excellent street tire.

I have run 3 AutoX's (one 3.1 miles long, one 1.8 miles long, and one 1.2 miles long) and will run a 4th in 2 weeks. So far the wear is not bad and I have about 2000 street miles on the tires also. As for handling, the turn-in response is good and they are very predicatable as to when they lose traction in a turn.

I like these tires and they were affordable, too!

There's my $.02...
