These are the yoko's for 12", arent they? A008 don't come in 12", and the other way round.

They'll be my next choice when I finally get rid of these falkens ;)

They have good grip, but they don't last that long, Oz was running them for a while..he wore them out pretty quick..hand brake turns didn't help the rear..

Compared to the falkens you will notice a huge gain in traction..especially in the wet, and a drop in tire life..which i think is a good compromise to make ;)

Remember, they're the only thing keeping you in contact with the road ;)

Last time I looked about $120-130 a tire..

Yeah ive had the A539's 12's on for just over 2 years now, they have only done 7500 miles, but ive already had to swap the fronts to the rear due to wear, i do run a bit of neg camber but the wear on the tyres is quite even. They are a decent tyre, not sure about there performance in the wet, as they have never driven in the rain b4. But dry weather they hold on, I always used to run A008's with my tens, and these seem just as good. But i guess being a softer compound they will wear a little more.
