Hello,

I am reasonably happy with the Yokohama Avid TRZ's. They are pretty quiet, they ride well, they are very good in wet conditions -- very good indeed, and traction is plenty good; even if things get a little spirited. I have not had them long enough to judge their longevity, on my car. My in-laws have them on their Sienna -- that van chews through tires, and I don't think these are going to fair much better than the stock run-flats...

[Edit: They shipped my xA with Goodyear's OEM's: they had decent RR, but they were onion skins! They wore out quickly, and they were pretty awful in the wet -- I could spin them at will, and they slipped in turns and aquaplaned on damp pavement; or it sure seemed like it...]
