These tires will be babied.. Not like the Kumho's that now, are crap, and useless, thanks to my stupidity, i've learned my lesson, and will baby these tires..
Just wanted to share my happiness..

He didn't keep the lightning wheels because he was running an adapter that was very unsafe. He was mature about it and forefitted the look for safety.
I like the Yokohama AVS series of tires. They are built pretty well and aren't rated all that poorly from all the reviews I've read.
I personally like BFG tires, but I haven't heard anything about Yokohama that was negative.

I dont think those are the gforce tires, I think youre thinking of the BFG scorchers, those are popular with the joto ricers.
the BFG gfroces are good swoopie but which ones arre you talking about?? im not sure about the suffix. are they the ones with recatangular diagonal blocks, or are they the ones with a sort of squiggle diamond directionaly battern???

The Scorchers, or the old ones at least, were the ones with the funky colored stripe on the tread, circling the tire. Ugly as hell and poor traction rating.....
BFG G-Force KD have a Khumo-ish look to them, nice agressive tread pattern.
KDW have the interlocking diamonds.....and one of the Drag Radial models has a diamond shaped pattern as well, but the diamonds are BIG.
My tires have Z treads on them.....I love them.....and a little yellow scorpion on the side, if little yellow scorpions are your thing.
Leo, I MISS THOSE LIGHTNING RIMS.....DAMMIT!!!!

What about jobs? Work hasn't been exactly easy to find for some folks. Wouldn't it be nice if there were more high-paid manufacturing jobs around? I thought Leo would get that more than most.
You CAN'T buy domestic on some items -- we don't make them anymore. Buy foreign and you are helping to make that a reality in other goods.
It's NOT government, or tariffs, or whatever, that drives jobs offshore: it's people in this country CLAMORING for anything imported, at low prices. "Oh, but it's better quality!" -- just justifying your own desires, not a serious argument for destroying American jobs.
And that's my last post on this in this topic. Either you get or you don't.
Like I said: good tires, bad choice to my mind.
One funny thing though: Yokohama had Cooper making some of their tires because they couldn't or didn't want to supply them at one point. Don't know whether it's still true or not.
