While Yokohama’s performance tires have been popular with enthusiasts for decades—after all, the company goes back more than a hundred years—its new ADVAN Apex V601, a max-performance summer model, breaks ground. It’s the company’s first tire developed in the U.S. specifically for the American market.
Sizes start at 245/40-17 (smallest overall ID, there's also a 225/45-17) and go up to 20" variants. FYI.
Can we expect that the Apex will be less expensive than the A052?
Both tires are on Tire Rack now. In a 245/40-17, the Apex V601 is $169.22 and the A052 is $217.03. The RE-71R is $182.92.
I guess I’m the only guy in America with smaller wheels than 17s.
These sound great for a street tire that sometimes sees track/autox, something we have all been asking for as the competition street tires have gotten so bonkers, but I need something smaller.

Even 17's are not in-vogue anymore. I have sold all but one of my sets of 17" wheels because the tire selection has gotten so lousy.
In reply to Javelin (Forum Supporter) :
Ugh. I hate this trend of boat anchor giant wheels. More expensive, more weight, and I don’t think it looks good either. I know I’m in the minority at that last point.
Since these are made for the American market, are they going to offer American (Muscle) sizes?
