I bought tires twice new set and always same - big noise and after 10000 miles tires were close to dead, luckly same bad behavior next 20k miles but honestly last 10k was really too danger to drive. Never more Yokohama. waiting money and rather pay a little bit more to get more reliable.
I bought Goodyear EAGLE F1 ASYMMETRIC - 225/45 R17 91 W and totally different level of tires

I had these tires installed in my Honda Civic 8th Gen to replace the worn out stock fitted Bridge Stones.

The highlight of the Yoko's is the comfort. They are extremely silent and soft on the car's suspension. In the first few weeks after getting these installed i actually looked forward to driving my car at work and around town everyday as the car felt quite and smoother than before. The tires absorbed the bumps on the road beautifully.

The wet grip of Yoko's is normal, In my opinion the bridge stones when new offered a much better grip in wet conditions. The confidence level remains a little low when negotiating round abouts and narrow exits from the flyovers and motorways .I felt the car slipping away a little at speed of 50-60KM when negotiating narrow turns.

The dry grip however was satisfactory.

OEM fitment on a 2007 Yaris; Quiet running tires and good dry grip. Average in the wet, but hopeless in slushy, snowy winter weather. Nowhere near the confidence levels/capability given by the Bridgestone Touranzas on our other Toyota.
But worst of all is the very high wear rate for tires that are driven gently around urban area with very little motorway use. Down to wear bars on the fronts at only 13,500 miles.

Have been using the tire for my past 3 cars i've own.

Compared to major brands slient/comfort for this tires are thumbs UP

Taxi company in singapore should invest on this for their customer comfort. An incident when i was in singapore that their mercedes cabs are using low budget tires, causing the tire hollow sound when travelling at 80km/h and above which i think it should be changed for customer comfort.

Such a comfortable car on budget tires like *Taxi Radial, Hankook OPTIMO K715, Pirelli P3000 and Goodyear EfficientGrip.

Great tire for daily driving currently on 50,000km yet the threading are still good for another 10,000km.
