Yokohama Avid S/T Opinions

Is anyone running these tires? I am looking to pick up a set of 275/60 15's for my truck, I think the 295/50's are causing some steering slop with the bubbly sidewalls. Anyhow I would like your guy's opinion on these tires if anyone runs them.

Thanks,
Ryan

I had some 275/60's on my truck a while back. I have nothing bad to say about them. They were good in every aspect especially the price. I think I got mine for $62 each about 3 years ago.

i like the tirerack.com performance ratings on the tire. They show to be better the the bfg, hankook, and firestone.

I put two (255/70-15) on the front of my '79 Suburban after a spate of self-destructing BFG T/A's. No problems yet, but I have only put maybe 5,000 miles on them. They seem to work as well as the T/A's ever did, and may be riding a bit smoother.
