aristo, really..you do not like the dna gp....i thought/read they got good review in japan...we just got those in the US(called es100 here)...few guys tried them and got good feedbacks...hm, interesting..

the potenza G-III are great..but we do not have them here in the US yet...i think they will be the next replacement for our potenza S-03...

Besides them wearing out entirely too fast, they were extremely noisy. Also they would always pull alot on the road, like getting caught in grooves in road. Ever since I have changes no problems. I had Grid II's on the 19" I had before and they were great also.

Aristo V300VE, sweeeeeeeeeet *** ride man! Got anymore pics of her? :eek:

Oh yeah stay away from Dayton Daytona ZR tires. They have awesome traction, but are annoying loud.

That's pretty good price for Yoko's. I have 235/40/18 and 255/35 and the fronts were 30000 JPY

I need to take some new pictures with the office digital camera. I haven't taken andy pictures in a while, then I will post them up on the site. Just have to make sure I don't use up all the film on the camera, my boss always yells at me about it. She's so smart...

Hey, check the negative camber adjustment. That is really bad inside wear you have.

I personally would not recommend the Yoko's thats all. They have alot of grip which makes for the noise and road pull and they are really soft so they wear out fast. So if you just use the car as a regular driver, no, if it is a high performance car and you have the money to replace them often, then yes. Ultimately it is your decision, just giving my experience. I just prefer the the GII or GIII, good all around tire.
