I've got Yokohama 255/50/ZR16's AO32R's...........although I've never driven in the rain, they are supposed to be great.

Unbelieveable traction too...........I hate to say it but........too much traction for a stock Camaro, can't have fun with them - burnouts take a brutal clutch dump and even then...........barely hazes and then hooks like a ****.

I just love the look of them though!

Umm, those are road racing tires!! Are you really using those for your daily driver duties? Thats not wise! Save some $ and use those at the track and get some daily driver tires! heheh

But yes, Yokohama makes some killer traction tires!
AO32R specs!

Not wise.........
Bah.

I like the look of them for the street.
So what if I'm overdoing it a bit.........it's only money.........plenty more where that came frome - I hear they print new bills everyday!

As far as the noise goes.........there is a little bit of a wirring sound at highway speeds - but my exhaust and stereo do a spendid job of masking it.
