Anybody running Yoko A032 for the street?

[bob tilton]

Curious if people are running the yoko A032 on their street cars - no track use.
If so feedback and pics please.

Bob,

I've run them on my time trial car (20% street, 80% track) and I felt they were a bit too loud for the street (rumbly) and they never got warm enough on the street to generate much grip. However, I did replace them with some Toyo Proxes RA1's and they are not only quieter, they have better grip too (dry and the wet).

Hope this helps...

Hey Bob...Rob is "rocking" those on his Bad-Boy...

I have used AO32Rs on the street with occasional autocross/DE use for years. Better grip than any street tire (including SO3s) and the hard compound version wears a long time - good in the wet too. They do get noisy as they get older, but we are talking about an early 911 right?

Doug - thanks for the info! I like that finish on those wheels. I bookmarked the post on pelican in which you had contributed to the economical RSR finish thread. Though I didn't go RSR my car no longer has the polished wheels.

Lars - I thought Rob's car had the A032s. Need to refer back to some of my pics of his car. BTW - that's a wicked pic!

Randy - good to know! I am leaning towards a set soon.

FWIW - I am also picking up a set of MXV4s 195/65s tomorrow for real cheap that have 3K miles on them but I don't think I am going to use them on the p car - most likely my other non p car - too good of a deal to pass up.

You'll think your wheel bearings have gone bad, but it's just the loud hum of the tires. Aside from that, they're okay. Not a great street tire, not a great track tire, but somewhere in between.
