I am about to buy some Yokohama AVS ES100's to replace the stock tires and was just wondering if it was normal for tires like the ES100 to easily pick up road debris. I had these tires once before and anytime I went through a little bit of gravel it would pick it and shoot it inside the wheel well. Is this common for a ultra high performance tire?

 

Im running Kumho Ecstas on mine and mine picks up rocks real bad. And mine are pretty crappy. SO I imagine anything with a softer compound will do the same.

 

ugh... don't even get me started about road crap and tires. i'm very **** about keeping my car clean, and these azeni's i have on the car don't let me do that for too long. even on dry roads i get dirt and dust flung up on the side of the car all the time.

 

Yeah my Yokohama AVS ES100's do it all the time... Specially those little rocks!

 

performance tires = sticky tires.

they will stick to the road and the crap on the road as well.

live with it. i found a peice of **** ad stuck to my tires once.

 

i have a box of **** in my back seat, have for about three weeks now...

but BACK onto topic. my crappy potenzas hold little rocks in them... so i imagine better ones will just be worse. oh well.
