Anyone running these tires? Any comments? I'm still looking for a tire for Southern California (no weater) for my wife's long commutes. Those high performance tires are just too expensive but I want something with good braking and wear.

FWIW, the current issue of CR has a favorable report on these tires.
I had Yokohama Avid on a Lincoln Mark VII LSC. They were great in the rain and dry pavement. They were so so in the snow.
I know someone who just bought the Avid TRZ for his 99 Maxima.
I just bought Yokohama Avid H4S (60K rated) at blowout prices for my 95 Maxima SE.
The TRZ are T-rated and the H4S are H-rated. I opted for the H-rated tires for performance reasons as my car has a sports (ie stiffer) suspension, is a 5-speed and I like to get out and play once in a while.
I suspect the TRZ would be just fine for highway driving.

In the exact same size I got these:

The wife has these on her Honda CRV. Currently 10,000 miles with extremely very little wear (fronts=10/32"). Dry and wet traction is very good. Only gripe is excessive noise between 5-45mph, especially for a touring tire. Next tires will be Avid Tourings (sans TRZ).
Thanks, Pablo, I'll take a look at them. There sure are a lot of choices out there, some good and some not so good. That makes feedback worth listening to. The TRZ's have an 80k tread warranty. I wonder if anyone has ever driven a set that far.
