I'm looking at a set of Yokohama Avid tires for my bronze '78 coupe. OEM 14" steel wheels with OEM "mag" wheel covers.

Any thoughts or comments on these tires in general or specific to Z cars?

I've got 15's on my zx, and like them quite a bit. Good to great traction in most circumstances (I drive mine in the rain... and the snow), with acceptable road noise. I have Sumitomos on my daily driver, and while they are good, I think the yokos are better overall.

I have them on my '78, with OEM Mags. Luv'em.

I purchased a set of Sumitomo HTR H4 s recently, and they are very good. Quiet, handling is OK, H-rated, and they look good. Also good traction in the snow and ice, although being in Texas you don't have to worry about that!

Can't beat the price at $45 each.

Quiet, decent traction, black-walled, available in 14", and cheap.

I've quite liked my set - even more once the car had struts that weren't blown out.

My set is the "Touring" model, here.
