i had em on my legend, and with the absnot working i locked em up and peeled out more than ever...i put some sumitomo srixon 4's on it and theyre awesome... stick like gum... they feel kinda weird in corners at high speeds, but they havent let me down... and btw louisiana roads are the true test for any tires... we have so many idiots driving here... especially the ones coming from mississippi


and btw i havent put any new rubbers on my 240 cuz its not road ready yet

I loved my yokohama ES100 they a great tire the AVS sports hold together well

Falken ST115 peel away nicely for drifting.

Oh LA 240 whatever
So if ABS is not on you peel out more?? That makes no sense.

A= Antilock
B= Braking
S= System

Nothing to do with acceleration. That would be Traction Control.

I think you just cant drive.

No youre stupid and illiterate, i said i locked em up, meaning that when i brake, the tires lock up... peeling out has nothing to do with braking... its called a compound sentance, go back to 3rd grade

You do know every tire manufacturer make ****ty lower-end "all-season" tires right? I just get the impression you had REAL cheap ****ty ones if your srixon 4's out perform them, cause I mean my $38 Ziex 512's out perform the srixon 4's and my 512's SUCK. You just can't beat the price though.

yokohama best(for me)

la 240 whatever you talked about peeling out. so i commented.

Any car will lock up if you brake to hard, which im sure is the reason for you.

Again you cant drive for **** i bet.
