Tire Question: Yokohama Nexus



Hi Gang,

Would like some input on tires I should get for my Milano. I was
gonna get the Yoko AVS for a deal but the price went up by about
15%. But the Yoko Nexus is now sub $100 for 205/55/16. I already
use 205/50 16 and they fit well. I was wondering how much slower
my car would be (that would suck) with the bigger tire
circumfrence (55 series). Also anyone used the Nexus before? Is
it good? 

I may just get cheaper Dunlop SP Sport W-10 for street use and
buy another set of multi-spoke wheels (something like an OZ
Superturissmo in white ala the 155 Superturissmo, or Alfa 156
wheels (Alfa Bill hear that?)) and fit some really sticky street
tires like the Yoko A022 on it for track use.

My current tire choices:
- -Falken GR-Beta RS Tune II (Grippy Tires, even on the track!
Great wear char.! $105 each! Can't find them at that price
anymore)
- -Toyo Proxes T1 Plus (a few of you have given input on this, I
understand the T1 was great. But the T1 Plus, some have said to
be inferior to the older T1, any inputs now?)
- -Yokohama Nexus (supposedly to be better than the AVS and what a
deal!)

Thank you.

Zamani
