I think I'm going to get these...

Re: I think I'm going to get these...
I've had Yokahama's in the past, on other cars, and I like them.
However, they tend to become noisier as the tire wears down. |
Re: I think I'm going to get these...
That is the tire I was leaning toward for winter rubber on my SRT-6. Keep up posted. I have also had several Yoks on other cars with good results.

Re: I think I'm going to get these...
I got them and I'm happy. The only problem I've had has been getting stuck from a stop, in DEEP snow. Like 6-10". And driving a RWD car with low-profile tires in 6" of snow isn't all that bright, so I'm not going to go blaming the tires. Fine in the rain/wet.

I learned a long time ago it's all about ground clearance with snow - we have a Nissan Frontier for deep snow - Yok's ordered this afternoon. I should be running on them by early next week.
I'll be happy to give a report when I get them on. :cool: |
Re: I think I'm going to get these...
I tried to buy Advan s4 today, 4 to 6 weeks delivery, direct from Japan. :mad: Best next deal was Pirelli rosso (PZero nero). I ordered them (installed tomorrow), them came home and did some research and discovered they where Summer tires, no good on any snow (we can get a dump any time of the year in Edmonton). So its going to be Pilot A/S, can't get them till the 8th. :( So its a mow the lawn weekend and Hunnydo. ARGH. Moral of the story is if you live in Canada start looking for the tires you want several months in advance!!! Pricing fronts $388, rears $470, plus-plus 6% GST, Labour $100, and 5% for "Other Stuff" Close to 2 grand $ Can.

Re: I think I'm going to get these...
Got them installed this morning. Wouldn't you know it - a state trooper followed me on the highway all the way to work so I couldn't play. Initial reaction is very positive - still need some time to break them in, but they feel good and hold well with Less "tracking"... :D

Rain today - good day for a test!

Re: I think I'm going to get these...
How do you like the yoko's I have the factory michs and trying to decide. Stay with the devil you know (michs) or change. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Re: I think I'm going to get these...
I was going to run them a few more miles before a review, but here goes. Traction and stickiness in corners is excellent. They feel real solid on the road and I get a real secure feeling even at higher speeds. They are a bit noisier than the Conti's, but only noticeable when the top is down - and not "much" noisier. All in all my first impression is that they are really good tires.
Excellent rain traction - even though we haven't had a whole lot of that lately. :rolleyes: |
