I enjoyed my car on Yokohama AVS Intermediates. They had great grip, and I was
locally competitive even with a couple other cars on (rather old) BFG R tires.
The AVS's were pricey when I bought them in my 205-50-15 size, but the price has
come down dramatically since then.
They lasted me about 20,000 miles of daily driving, and about a season (12
events) of autocrossing. At that point they were near the tread wear marks, and
getting pretty dangerous in the wet on the street. So I bought an extra set of
take-off wheels and put street tires on them, and left the AVS Intermediates on
the stock rims, and autocrossed them for nearly another full season.
I got my Yokohama AVS Intermediates at Radial Tire Co. in Silver Spring, MD.
I got my washer at Sears.
