My 914 needs new tread. I have 195-50 Yokohama AVS intermediate tires (circa 1999) that stuck great to the road.
per Tirerack. Yoko's new AVS, the ES-100 does not stick like the old AVS, but does wear better, and better wet traction. Not a trade off I want. i want the handling i had on the old AVS's, hang turns or die. So I see the Sumitomo HTR-Z and was told by Tire rack it is much closer to the old AVS in handling (ie sticky tire). Any experience with the HTR-Z? any other recommendations for what i want? 1999 AVS wear = 160, traction A new AVS wear = 280, Traction AA HTR-Z wear = 160, Traction A I would usually get about 40-50K miles from a set of the old sticky tires, all four wear even, no rotation ever needed. |
