    Default yokohama EVS 100

    hey fellas,

    I just got my 18 inch staggared set of M-parallels. I wanted to know what you guys thought about the yokohama evs 100's to go on this set. I like the tires aggresive look.
    I don't drive real aggresive but i do want good performance.

    thanks,

    Darron

    Default Mine lasted me barely 20k miles

    they got loud after 10k, cupped, and wore unevenly. Not a terrible tire for the price. I believe the E34 is a bit heavy for these tires, and with a lowered suspension set up, it was not conducive to great wear. I replaced them with Bridgestone RE-750

    Default You mean AVS ES100?

    Do you mean AVS ES100? If so, they handle great with decent ride for 18" tires but they do get loud as they wear (maybe after 8k-10k miles). Also, they are summer tires and not designed for snow. For that price, I would go with Goodyear F1 GS-D3. They are better in performance, ride quality, and noise level. I purchased Goodyear F1 GS-D3 for my JAG and they are the best summer tires I have ever owned. Now my car handles like a sports car but drives like a luxury sedan.

    Default Yokos or Toyos on the e34

    had Yokos went to Toyo Proxies and was much happier. The Yokos we so loud I couldnt stand to ride in the car. Toyos much quieter; More aggressive; better handling. Of course thats my opinion. Out here in Virginia I have found the handling to be extremely useful while dodging Cicadas on the highway. Good Luck - JT
