Yoko AVS ES100s.... good in the rain??

That time has came where I need some new tires again... I've heard good things about the ES 100s from Yokohama, and I want to know how they hold up in the rain... Better than the GSCs I have now I hope?

Basically, Im looking for a tire that is good in the rain (this is important), good on dry pavement of course and not too much more than 100 bucks each. I'm moving to florida in a month so snow is not an issue.

What do you reccomend? I would prefer american made tires by union men (Mail call, OOohhh Raaah ) but its not really a big deal and if the yokos are good, ill get them anyways... what do you guys think?

Thumbs up

They are great tires, in the dry or in the rain. I had a set put on this spring and they had no problems dealing with the summer downpours we get here.

Where in FL are you moving too? If you're coming anywhere near Orlando I'll sell you mine. They still have tons of tread as I only put ~7-8K miles on them. I just got some 17" rims else I would still be driving on them.

i am very pleased with those tires. They are great in both the rain and when its dry. I can't compare with any other tires really. But i have been very happy with these tires.
