The Advan tyres cost me $1200 for the set ex-Japan. Cant get them here locally, spoke to Yokohama over east and they hadn't even heard of the tyre. Guys in the USA are raving about them though, OEM fitment on Lotus Elise. Awesome tyre, a tad less grippy than r-comps but also awesome in the wet.

Nice work J Max. Is coming together very nicely. Very well put together package. (Great colour and wheel selection) Looking forward to getting another hills run happening soon and seeing it in action.

Seems fine, although i am running them on 9" wide rims so that helps. Have been for one good belt through the hills with them and they performed well. In the past I have always liked the sidewall stiffness of Bridgies. Nice direct feel. These dont seem too bad. Not really squirmy and vague like some other brands I have tried.
