The Yokohama website lists the AD08R as 200TW now. So I guess that's the go-to tire. Screw that though. We should all race on the Avid Touring S. It's got a 620TW rating, so it's over 3x better.

If we can find them, the Volga will roll on 900+ treadwear or the 35 year old Russian tires on it now...I mean they hold air.

I appreciate that Lemons' Tire War, so to speak, has competition on both ends of the Treadwear spectrum.

Re: Yokohama Tires Becomes Official Tire of Lemons

Does Yokohama's sponsorship mean we (well, okay, I) can now get their 155R15 tire without first stocking up on koruna česká banknotes?

The 400tws on the front engine diesel porsche have two races on them now. Should be good for at least two more...

They're still working with their supplier on it. They did say to keep an eye on Discount Tire in general because they occasionally have breaks and deals there (independent of our relationship with them).
