Also the steering wheel is rock solid now on the freeway and is not moving around trying to follow every little imperfection in the road, probably due to the fact that the tire has more give now.

Much cheaper than the OEM Yokohamas. I got a full set of 4 from Tire Rack for $860 shipped.

Looks every bit as good as the OEM tires.


Cons: This tire gives up quite a bit of the sharp turn-in that the Yokohamas have, but overall grip is roughly the same. It feels as if the car is moving around more in the corner, but it's not sliding or losing traction. It's very disconcerting at first, but you get used to it.

So far I am very happy with these tires. Now let's see how long they last. :-)

you'll want to break in the tires a little more to get the full grip of those S04's.
advans are too stiff imho as it causes tramlining on nismo wheels (no spacers) yet the grip is no better than S03's. advans feel like dated tires.
