What is the most mileage one got from the Yoko AVS ES100?
OK, I realize mileage depends on driving habit, inflation pressure, wheel alignment, etc. but I just wanted to get some feel from those who have been installing their Yokos and have some mileage. Anyone?
I have 21k on mine and they are showing a lot of wear. It's my daily driver and my commute is a little less thatn 100 miles a day - made up of all types of driving (street, freeway & mountain curves).
With mixed driving I have seen posts that claim that the ES100s last at least 20-22K miles or more.
If you drive normal I think you can expect about 25K plus. You need to watch air pressure and rotate tires every 5000 miles to get good results.
If you do autocross or track then you'd shorten the life by 1000s of miles. I have about 8000 miles on my MCS with two autocross sessions (11 runs) and one track day so far and I have about half worn my tires.

Thanks all. Tire Rack sent me an email advertising the newer Yoko Avid H4s/Avid V4s (about $80 each, same coast as the ES 100). Apparently there is a promo that goes with buying 4 Avid tires: you get up to $100 off a stay at the Marriott Hotel.
The Avids have a longer UTQG treadwear (500) compared with the ES 100 (280). But that comparison does not consider driving characteristics and handling of the two different tires.

The Yoko Avid H4S/V4S are all-season tires and are lower in the performance tire pecking order:
