The AVID TOURING-S is Yokohama's Standard Touring All-Season tire developed for the drivers of coupes, sedans and minivans. It was designed to combine ride quality, smooth handling, durability and traction in any season, including in light snow.
The AVID TOURING-S uses Yokohama's Tri-plex Tread Compound to provide long tread life and all-season traction. This compound is molded into a symmetric tread design that features Silent Shoulder variable tread block sizes and a central Twin Rail Stability Rib to reduce tread pattern noise while offering confident maneuverability. The intermediate tread blocks feature Tapered Rain Channels working in tandem with circumferential grooves to help evacuate water and enhance wet traction while Cross Traction sipes provide biting edges to increase traction in wintry conditions. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by nylon belt edge strips on top of polyester body plies that are stabilized by tall, tapered rubber sidewall inserts for better absorption of bumps and road vibrations.
El neumático AVID TOURING-S de Yokohama, pertenece al grupo: Turismo Estándar Para Toda Estación y fue desarrollado para conductores de cupé, sedán y minivan. Su diseño combina una andar de calidad, maniobrabilidad pareja y tracción en todas las estaciones del año, incluyendo superficies cubiertas con poca nieve.

...the tires are not noisy in general and have a good grip in dry weather but very slippery in the wet...
Got my 07 Odyssey with those tires and put 20 000 miles on them. Not sure how many miles they were driven before that, maybe 10-15k? Anyhow, they are pretty much up for replacement, however, within low acceptable limits since the guys at America's tire did not refuse to rotate and balance. The thread of one of the tires just separated and gave me a horrible vibration, I was really concerned it might have been the power train or something. The tires are not noisy in general and have a good grip in dry weather but very slippery in the wet. No snow in So Cal so may not give an opinion. Will not buy again.

...Any tire at high speed will hydroplane but these have done well on the interstate at 70 mph...
I purchased these tires as the first set from the OEM tires. I have been very pleased with the wear and performance. I did not get the 65,000 mile warranty but they have performed greatly. I have driven on a variety of road type surfaces and they have held up well. Driving in loose dirt, sand and mud with the AWD vehicle they performed well. Any tire at high speed will hydroplane but these have done well on the interstate at 70 mph. I am ready to purchase a second set and would recommend use to others of similar vehicle.

...Similarly, the car DOESN'T come out with salt on the road, so I have no idea how good the winter traction is...
I bought these for my 1970 MGB. Tires in the OEM size are notoriously hard to find, and the 185/70R14 at least duplicates the OEM size.
This is a car that's meant for "spirited" driving, and the tires rise to the occasion wonderfully. Cornering stability is excellent, as is dry traction-I've yet to break the rear end loose in the time these have been on the car. Driving around town, they do a great job of soaking up potholes to somewhat compensate for the relatively unforgiving suspension on the car but still feel nice and stable on the interstate even at speeds of 90+mph. These tires are more difficult to lock up in heavy braking than anything else I've had on the car, which of course is a real testament to their dry traction.
I can't really comment on wet traction as I do my best to avoid driving in the rain, but the times I've been caught they've given me no trouble. Similarly, the car DOESN'T come out with salt on the road, so I have no idea how good the winter traction is. I also can't hear them over the sound of the wind, so have no idea about road noise.
In any case, though, I'm very happy with them and have been heartily recommending them to other MG owners looking for tires(esp. since many MGs are running around with tires well past their prime).

...I drove my car 250 milesin a snowstorm (no traction control) and these tires did much better than I was expecting. I normally get a set of snow tires, but I decided not to this year. Tires did very well changing lanes through slush, stopping and accelerating on un-plowed roads and cornering...
Considering these were the cheapest name brand tires I could get, it's difficult to complain about them. I drove my car 250 miles in a snowstorm (no traction control) and these tires did much better than I was expecting. I normally get a set of snow tires, but I decided not to this year. Tires did very well changing lanes through slush, stopping and accelerating on un-plowed roads and cornering. I was very cautious accelerating and turning, if I push the tires they don't do good in the snow but they are better than the Hankook all-seasons on our Civic. Excellent job in dry weather and rain. My only complain is these are pretty noisy tires. I've had many different tires, and while these aren't the loudest I've had they are pretty loud. The hard cornering is better than my previous tires, but I drive a Camry so it really doesn't bother me if the car can't take sharp turns at 55MPH.

...Wet traction is lacking... especially with age...
This is a follow up to my previous review. I bought new Goodyear Viva 3 tires and did not realize how much better the Goodyears are compared to the Yokohama Touring-S. The Yokohamas are just too harsh over the bumps, plus they don't corner well. Wet traction is lacking... especially with age. They are much better tires out there. I can't believe I waited so long to replace these tires.

I have been pleased with the cornering, stopping and wet-weather handling of these tires...
I put these Yoko AVIDs on my 1991 Volvo 240 wagon and my 2005 Toyota Camry. I have been pleased with the cornering, stopping and wet-weather handling of these tires. I am not pleased with the tread life. I regularly check the tire pressure and rotate them every 5k miles. I was surprised that I got only 36.2k of service from these tires on the Camry. They are ok on the Volvo, but they've seen less than 10k of service.

...in the wet and dry traction and cornering are everything i could want from a mid-priced tire that isn't a high performance tire. It doesn't bark or complain in hard cornering. Slip is very linear and predictable when i give em the beans...
These have been really solid tires for my Mazda 6. I've had these on the car for about 5 years now and have replaced them 2 at a time several times as i usually can't be bothered to rotate them religiously. I swap them out for winter tires during the winter so i can't really speak to the winter performance, but in the wet and dry traction and cornering are everything i could want from a mid-priced tire that isn't a high performance tire. It doesn't bark or complain in hard cornering. Slip is very linear and predictable when i give em the beans. they're relatively quiet. I think they've been about perfect when considering performance -vs- wear -vs- cost

Almost 55,000 miles and tread at 4/32. Not bad considering about 75% spirited highway driving. Wet and dry traction is excellent. Tires rotated every 5000 to 7000 miles. Highly recommend.

These AVID Touring-S tires have been perfect for 60,544 trouble free miles so far as of today. I'm currently right at 4/32 tread on all 4 tires so they are getting a little thin, but they have worn pretty evenly as they've been rotated every 6,000 miles...
These are absolutely excellent tires for the price, and I'd recommend them for nearly any normal vehicle. I've had several sets of different Yokohama tires, and have enjoyed every single one of them (including AS530, various AVID and Geolander truck tires). These AVID Touring-S tires have been perfect for 60,544 trouble free miles so far as of today. I'm currently right at 4/32" tread on all 4 tires so they are getting a little thin, but they have worn pretty evenly as they've been rotated every 6,000 miles. I always keep them at 2-5 lbs above the recommended pressure, for mileage sake (except for a few times in the snow where I dropped the pressure to around 20-22 just to make sure my wife could get around for a few days while I wasn't around). These tires have driven all over the USA east of the Miss. River and dealt with every imaginable road condition; including deep snow and ice in Northern Michigan, to flash floods in Georgia and Florida, to insanely cold polar vortex and burning hot southern temperatures (and everywhere in between, including washboard dirt roads). These tires have performed flawlessly even with my driving style (aggressive, but smart). My only critique of dry performance is that they will squeal early like most normal passenger A/S tires, but they still maintain good traction and feedback throughout hard cornering (as hard of cornering as a Corolla can do, mind you). This includes driving 80mph in barely above freezing temps on West Virginian curvy mountainous roads = no issues. Wet performance is great, even in deep water where the OEM Goodyear Integrity tires would hydroplane easily. Braking has been fantastic, even recently in the cold rain with 4 or 5/32" tread. Road noise has increased a little bit now that they are getting a little more worn, but nothing above what I'd call normal (once again it's a Corolla so it's not OEM sound-dampened like a BMW or Benz). Treadwear is exactly as advertised. Fuel mileage has been great, 35-38 mpg.

I drive an average of 25,000/yr in this car. 5 x 25K = 125K give or take. The tires on the front are finally in need of replacement, the rears still probably have another 2 years in them. Incredible. I didn't know tires could last this long...
I bought these 5 years ago for my 2004 Honda Accord. I wish I recorded the mileage when I did so. Doing some basic math, I drive an average of 25,000/yr in this car. 5 x 25K = 125K give or take. The tires on the front are finally in need of replacement, the rears still probably have another 2 years in them. Incredible. I didn't know tires could last this long. Mostly highway driving. Ordered again today.
