a comprable tire to the yok. advens or however it spelled are the yok. yk520... they are an all season tire but im not exactly sure how they grip when trying to launche... in corners they are pretty good... if i were you i would go with the bfg g-force sports... those are good tires right below the g-force kdw's im sure they are good in the rain... my friend had them on his bullitt and loved them but he never drove it in the rain so cant help there...

99gtvert... which discount tire do you work at... i also work at DTC in houston txh66... never really talked to anyone out of my store?

f1s are amazing in rain, and dry conditions my friend has a s60r AWD with 4 f1s ive seen him doing 80 around corners and never miss but tbh there to expensive for the tire tread i went with sumitomos cheap decent in rain and dry conditions great tread life. people talk so much crap about them cuz they dont "hook" its a basic street tire what do u people expect? if you want traction then buy dr's but then u cant drive in the rain. thats my input.

idk how people bitch about rain traction... you shouldn't be going that fast to lose control on the street... that's plain stupid. I had goodyear eagles... great tires AFTER heated up, but treadlife sucks and they're just too pricey... yesterday got the BF goodrich gforce sports... THEY'RE AMAZING... the tread is super deep, it wasn't grabbing ruts like my goodyears and the ride was better too... felt more rigid which is good for hard cornering and such.

IMO the sports are PERFECT for the budgeted people, like me.
