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.

Nice ride quality tire
quiet running
decent wet traction when the tires were pointed straight.
Average wet traction when you turned though.
not great in snow or ice but acceptable if you drove safety.
dry breaking was excellent
dry corner was sub par as the tires deflect crazy bad in hard turns
BUT they don't lose traction
45k miles and had 3/32 thread with my 2300lb car (all highway)
my new continental contact touring a/s ride just as nice but don't deflect nearly as much as the avid S tires did

...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.

...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. 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 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).
