New Tires available in 205/60/14
Hey
Yokohama has a new tire available in the stock 205/60/14 size.
I am considering this for my SE...What do you think of the tread design?

they look a little like the goodyear F1's (well from what I can see on that tiny picture.
Do you have much choice of tyres in this size the US ?... I have just managed to buy the last set of 4 205/60r14 Falken ZE502's in the UK, the alternatives being "budgets" and either a firestone a bridgestone or a Dunlop ... not a lot of choice at all
Out of interest has anyone used a 195/50/14 on the 5.5jj x 14" alloys ?

The AVS ES100 radial is Yokohama’s Ultra High Performance summer tire designed to deliver ultra high performance looks and handling to the drivers of sports cars, coupes and sedans. The AVS in the AVS ES100 radial's name identifies that this tire is a member of Yokohama's Advanced Vehicle System flagship family of performance tires.
On the outside, the AVS ES100 features a high-tech silica tread compound molded into a directional tread design with long tread blocks and a continuous center rib to provide traction, responsive handling, and high-speed stability. Its two, wide circumferential center channels and “high angle” lateral tread grooves effectively pump water to the sides of the tire’s footprint to enhance wet traction and minimize hydroplaning. Internally, the AVS ES100 features twin steel belts reinforced by jointless, wrapped nylon stabilizing the tread area to elevate handling and high-speed capability while minimizing weight. The AVS ES100 radial’s polyester cord body and steel wire-reinforced sidewalls help blend ride quality with lateral stability.
Yokohama AVS ES100 tires feature black letter styling and are available in 60-, 55-, 50-, 45-, 40-, and 35-series; H-, V- or W-speed rated sizes for 14" to 18" wheel diameters.
