Yokohama AVID ENVigor

About half way through my second set of Avid Envigors on my 15 Civic Si sedan. The first set were the factory size (225/40R18). I drive just under 30k miles a year, about 75% highway, regularly cruising well above the speed limit. These tires grip well at high speed in the rain and leave me feeling very reassured. I spend the rest of my time carving through Northern Pennsylvania mountain roads. These tires rode a bit hard but handled amazingly in all conditions whether dry or wet, and provided acceptable snow grip. That is, until the V shape grooves near the center of the tire began to fade from wear, even though the outer grooves have very deep tread remaining. At that point, the tires still resisted hydroplaning well but would break loose at the light and during sudden stops in the wet. My second set were installed on aftermarket wheels and the side wall ratio was upsized to 225/45. These tires ride much softer than the shorter 225/40 ratioed tires and provide a smoother ride while sacrificing a bit of handling prowess. I am able to induce oversteer in the wet with these tires much easier than with the OEM size. The second set is wearing only slightly slower than the original tires. With about 25,000 miles on them now, I will be removing them for my winter tire set but I should be able to get another 10k, quiet and safe miles out of them.

Now have over 10000km on them on a combination of city/highway driving. Love them! Great handling without being harsh. Great GT tire; considering putting them on an SLK.

I put these on my Mazda6 to replace the OEM tyres. Fantastic! Very good grip and excellent lateral feel. Super in the rain as well. I've put about 2000kms on them so far, so can't give you a read on wear, but have been told they should last 80k Kms.
