Yes, this point has been in my brain a lot. I'd just like to not visit the tire shop every 5,000 miles =P I'm looking for solid feedback of the Yoko ADVAN Sport, as on paper, they seem to be a good choice to dethrone the PS2, however, the tread life seems to suck even more.

Weird reflection. Iron stains on driveway from sprinkler system. Haven't replaced a bad filter.

Those look great on your car, Ronrace.

May I assume you went with 285's in the rear?

Wow, agressive
If you get the chance when you've had good seat time with them, I'd like to know how they perform and if the 180 treadwear rating is accurate. Thanks.

EDIT: On a side note. Picking a tire would have been easy for me if Goodyear made the F1 GS-D3 in sizes for our car. I figure there will be rare chances where I'll actually be using the tires to the limit on the dry, and the F1's provide arguably the best wet weather performance.
