Great tires for the value, mines are 2019 and saw heavy city use, lots of potholes, use and abuse.
Traction is great, the sidewalls are sturdy.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Chevrolet Cavalier drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Extremely rough ride. Felt every crack in the road. Had to return.
These are NOT all season like they claim. They are horrible in snow. Even a dusting. I bought 2 sets of these for me and my wife's cavalier z24 and ls sport . They are loud, bumpy, have NO winter grip. And they are a very unbalanced tire. I had them balanced 2x now. You get what you pay for I guess. In a crisis in non winter climates they would be OK but if you get ANY SNOW,don't buy these. Trust me! I had many cavaliers with many tires and none of them were this bad in winter. They don't have gaps between the horizontal tread and it makes them like a slick tire and they spin and throw the car. They are good in the rain and pretty good on dry pavement but very noisy!.and unbalanced. I highly don't recommend these!
Its clear you get what you pay for and these tires are no different. I think road noise is excessive but for me I paid $42.49 per tire for size 195/65/15 I live with the noise. The other factor is these are not the best is wet traction by any means. For the price it works, for the safely or your wife of kids it does not. I understand how the tire handles and account for that, but for those who just know its a tire on the care spend the extra money get a quality tire and know your family is safe. No exceptions
These tires are just great! I live in Mexico and really enjoy roadtrips with either family or friends. I must say that we have awful roads and highways down here and it's really an adventure driving on them, taking that into account, my opinion is that these YOKOHAMA tires are plain "AWESOME" overall. So, if you live in a first world country, chances are you will have the same opinion after you try them.
For a smooth ride with a light car, you want the word "Touring" on the sidewall of the tire.
These tires make my car drive as if it's a bigger, heavier car.
It takes the bumps smooth and there is little road noise at 75 MPH.
They saved me from an accident on a dry day.
The ABS and the tires worked very well together.
They seem fine in wet conditions.
When you see bad reviews on this site, check the driving Style of the person.
If they admit to "Spirited", read as Maniac!
