I bought Adrive for my corolla 3,4 months back because of yokohama but what a pathetic choice and what a pathetic quality. Road noise is very high, when driving the car at 150/160 km the car is like floating on the water and at any time it's gonna fly away.
Pathetic experience, wasted all of my money.
I bought these because they are yokohama and I prioritized grip over all else. What a mistake! Wet weather grip is downright dangerous. My kids will be driving this car in 3 months and I will be changing these tires (with 80% grip on them).

Had used this tires with my Fiat Punto and it was just good for 42K KMs and became bald in sides. Also the Tire wall was very soft to make the drive comfortable.
Road Grip was good in dry condition and in wet condition, it was aquaplaning. The tire wear is too high.
The driving was mixed in City and Highways (India) and returned good mileage, but not great.
Which tires do you drive?
Researching the Yokohama A Drive? Rate the tires you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
I have driven 7k km and I have to say that I' m very surprised how good the tires are. I got them for less than 30€ per tire, which is fu*king awesome price/performance ratio. Grip in dry is good enough for moderate driving ( highway, city, country roads). I wouldn't recommend it to speedy drivers (it's not high performance tire). Not perfect in wet cornering, even though it losese grip progresively and I would say it is very predictable( I don't have an ESP). Otherwise no aquaplaning issues in wet. I believe models with lower sidewall are even better in dry. Noise level is acceptable. Wear is good (1mm in 7k km). I would buy them again definitely, and most important I trust them.

Spirited
Tire performed fairly good for the price, wet and dry grip was adequate.
Noise levels were a bit high.
Sidewall is quite stiff, survived a wheel destroying pothole.
Wear was pretty good considering my spirited driving style (30000KM)
Only thing stopping me from buying them again is the noisy symmetrical pattern.
Confortable tire, but don't excepect much grip from it. The grip is worse than the Goodyear Eagle Excellence and the Nexen CP661 that I had in the same car. However it was the most comfortable and silent.
I bought these tires for couple years ago, I think it sucks. I felt it quite hard surface since the first 10,000 km. And it's so noise after 20,000 km.
Good tires, they lasted over 65.000 km but now it´s time to change them.
Acceptable performance, but little bit noisy and rigid. Probably my next buy will improve to CDrive 2 or Decibel. Greetings from south america.
Really good tires, very impressed, the tires felt like a proper track tire. Stiffer side walls but not compremising the ride, tire squeel is very minimal they are so controllable on and near the limit in all conditions, 100% advise anyone to buy these where possible
Dry
grip is very good, the car can be taken through bends with great confidence, I've never got near the limits of grip in the dry, braking is very good
Wet
grip is good but because the dry grip is so good in the wet it is noticably less so but still at a high level handling and braking are also still good
Wear
considering the amount of grip and it's a peformance tire the wear is very good
Comfort
again very good, noise is low too
Buy again
yes certainly as a performance tire it is very good value
Just fitted 4 brand new yokohama A drive tires last Sept 29,2011 to my Toyota Avensis SR 1999. Excellent grip wet/dry road.Nice test drive to M5.For me,I like the performance of this tires. I'll buy Yokohama brand again in the future.
