Yokohama Tires

[fritchy]

I bought my car with Yokohama A550h and now it is time to replace them. I understand that the A550h is no longer sold. I like Yokohama and saw the Avid H4s is rated very well and I think they are the closest to the A550h. Is this true?

My size is 205/60R15. My primary concern is great traction in the rain, as well as dry, and yet a comfortable ride. I don't race my car or drive super fast. I do like to drive spirted around turns every now and then and want a tire that will still grip well.

Any input on the Avid H4s vs A550h? thanks.

BTW, I live in Florida so snow is not an issue; however, rain is very much an issue.

I had Avid H4's on my 318is for a while, they were fine. I drove the car hard and they took the abuse well, good traction and wear. You should be fine with those.

I have them on my 318is and I love them! Great grip. I took/take turns like a mad-man, and I never got anything except a little squeal and a lot of grip.

Rain twas great, dry was great to. I had the same size as well.

The comfort was ok to good. I do hear a bit of road noise with those tires, though.

But I'll get them again. (They're pretty cheap too.)

Good luck
