This is what happens when you drift on Yokohama tires (es100’s pictured but has happened to me with other Yoko types. The missing tread is not even on the camber side? wtf… ahwell. That was driftnations first event of '06):

This is what I’ll be rolling on on the streets:

Yoko Advan AO32’s. They are NOS (new old stock) but still soft as hell, 60 tread wear. And yes, they fly appart too early if you drift on them aswell.

This is what I’ll be rolling on at the track for rears:

In there I have some yoko’s, Azenis’, pirelli’s, Mich’s, Dunlops… etc.

Got a deal for 4 Kumho Ecsta ASX 235/45/17 from a friend that have about 90%+ on them for 300 (good price? they are a month old he paid double that last month) might be picking them up this weekend. Want to run them on 17x9s.

[http://www.1010tires.com/tire.asp?tirebrand=Kumho&tiremodel=Ecsta+ASX+(KU21)](http://www.1010tires.com/tire.asp?tirebrand=Kumho&tiremodel=Ecsta+ASX+%28KU21%29)

Anyone have any firsthand experience with these tires? all the reviews i’ve read so far are very positive. Not using them for track tires just something comfortable for the streets. Tread pattern is definately not as aggressive as the ones posted. Anyone tried these?

Those are definitely Yoko’s, not Toyo 🙂

This isn’t at all interesting, but I ordered a set of Falken 512’s for the coupe I just bought for a daily driver. $228 USD for all 4, sweet.
