I think I'm about to do a 5-lug conversion, and I'm shopping for tires. Right now I'm favoring the Yokohama AVS dB's. I will never drive in snow. Does anyone have any experience with these? The price is right, but how's the handling? What about tread life? Any input is appreciated.

Tread life can be found in the specs on the sidewall. Its usually one of the things they list when you shop online for tires as well.

Higher that number, the longer the life.

At one site it had 130, but what's it out of? I need a basis.

I think treadlife on my kuhmos is 300. In comparison, most R compounds have a 50 treadwear rating.
