Question Who is running 16in Yokos or Michelins..?

I'm looking to replace the runflats on my newly aquired X-lites with a summer tire that I can use for occasional drivers ed track days. I'm not going to be autocrossing. I don't find the runflats excessively harsh, but I think for the summer, on the lighter wheels, I'm going to go for something lighter in weight.

Has anyone got direct experience with the Yokohama AVS ES 100 or the Michelin Pilot Sport..? I'm thinking of 205/50 but open to suggestion. Is the Michelin really worth double the Yokohama..?

Thanks in advance (I know this is a hotly debated area!)


Religion is like a huge dog. If it's yours it's very friendly and comforting, but it scares the heck out of everyone else.
