Default Yokohama's new rubbers :

Now THAT is some design. But I really can't figure wether that's superior or not to the AVS Sport, or wether it's come to replace a certain model or exist on its own. For the moment, at least, it's available only in 18" according to Yoko's page.<ul><li><a href="http://www.yokohamatire.com/TireSizes.asp?TireID=60">http://www.yokohamatire.com/TireSizes.asp?TireID=60</a</li></ul>

Default That's a track tire.

It's DOT approved, but, it's not going to work well in the rain.

Yep, you're right (single block tread = dry w/ high temps only). The design is awesome though!
