Default Falken St 115 or Yokohama AVS db S2?
Agressive street use only- no track (no snow!).

Default Neither are that great for even aggressive street use.
You sacrifice a lot of performance with both of those tires due to the super-soft sidewalls. But, if you're willing to sacrifice that for comfort, either one will work well. I've driven both and don't know if one is any better than the other. I'd choose by price, personally.

Default Well, I'm not too agressive, but for $84/tire, the ST115 are great...
REALLY quiet, handle nice, got 4000 miles and wearing just fine. I'm happy with my choice.

Default I have the Falken Azenis ST115. I have had them for 4k miles. Nice ride,
quiet, good grip....not bad for the money.

Default I have Kumho MX which I love but may get some new wheels from Achtuning
and the Yokos are like $175 each- supposedly $240 at others.
I'm going to get the wheels and stick (no pun) with the MXs. A deal is no deal if its not what you really want.

Default I love the ST115's - Running them Now
Not as much grip as an S-03 by a mark, but much easier to live with. Quiet, comfortable, grippy.
