Yokohama Performance

["Robert Rooney" <dmcvegas@xxxx>]

Last night I took the D out durring a pretty good thunder storm. The 
Yokohama AVS Intermediates performed VERY well in wet conditions! Not 
once did they lose grip of the road, even @ moderate speeds on the 
interstate. No hard braking, but when I did brake, it was like I was 
still on a dry surface. When starting out from a stop, not once did 
the tires spin. Also, the tires really channel the water away! When 
going thru large puddles I had water splash out above the fenders. 
All in all the tires have performed great! However, they should be 
looked at as a safety precaution, NOT a licence to drive faster in 
bad weather. No matter what car you drive, use common sense when 
driving, and don't be afraid to slow down. If possible stay at home. 
But if you do have to go out, drive senseable. Don't know how the 
Goodyear Eagle GT's, or the Pirelli 600's perform. But the Yoko's are 
great!

p.s. if you ever get a chance to drive you DeLorean out into a 
lightning storm, take it! you'll get at least 3 times the looks as 
normal, plus the stainless looks beautifull when the lightning 
flashes across it!
