Yokohama Avid V4's

[mkosem]

I got my Yokohama Avid V4's installed today. I must say, it's like a night and day difference going from those crappy conti's! All driving conditions are improved with these tires. They are quieter, they grip snow way better and most importantly they stick around turns way better. They break loose when accelerating in a straight line when it's wet but I can't think of a tire that anyone has that doesn't(even those Ecsta MX's do). They also seem a little less forgiving over bumps, but that is a tradeoff for having stiffer sidewalls. Overall, I am impressed with these tires. They don't seem to know what puddles are, they cut right through them. And they are a good tire for a decent price with a 45,000 mile treadlife warranty. --Matt
