2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR

With nearly 12,000 hard, aggressive miles on the clock, the soft and sticky OE Yokohama Advan tires indicated their time was up. Although that may not seem like many miles for a set of tires, it does represent more wear than the last-generations's even softer Advans could endure; they were lucky to accumulate 10,000 miles. A quick call to The Tire Rack netted us a set of Goodyear's new Eagle F1 Asymmetric tires, which came in at a cost of $808. When it was wearing fresh shoes, the Evo quickly impressed Evans. "This car is best appreciated on windy roads at high speeds, not city traffic and mind-numbing commutes. If I could, I'd have a beater for commuting and an Evo X (without the wing) for a weekend toy."
