Tire B Yokohama AVS Sport

The Yokohama AVS Sport is highly regarded by enthusiasts for its exceptional dry and wet grip, often cited as a benchmark performance tire of its era. While users frequently lament its discontinuation, the consensus highlights a strong balance of handling precision and surprising longevity, despite some reports of increased road noise.

Pros

  • High level of handling precision and cornering confidence
  • Impressive tread life relative to its performance category
  • Strong value proposition for the level of performance provided

Cons

  • Noticeable road noise, particularly during the first half of the tread life
  • Limited availability due to the tire being out of production
  • Performance degradation noted when tread depth reaches the final 2mm

Observations

How do we compare tires?

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.

Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
