Superb grip particularly in the wet, round corners and (mini-)roundabouts. The most disappointing aspect is the high wear - having to replace them after only 19,000 miles of pretty moderate [ave. 60-65 mph motorway] driving. The tyres were quiet noticeably for only the first 5,000 miles - with Yokohama's low-noise claims with [AVS "dB"] etc. not having stood the test of time, I'd say. Responsive tyres with good all round stability. I'm replacing them with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric.

These were fitted (OE) when I bought the car at 16k miles, now done 18k. Fronts look like they'll go to 20k and there's acres of tread remaining on the rear.

Good dry grip, pretty good wet grip and quiet (which is the point of these after all). Will definitely use again.

One of the best tyres that I have ever had. Grip & feedback is excellent.

The first set on my car lasted 19000 miles which is OK for wear I suppose.

I believe these tyres are supposed to be made to be quiet-that's what the dB is for. I didn't actually think that they were that quiet. I had goodyears on for a very short time & they were quieter. However, this doesn't bother me-I just want them to grip & this is what they do.

They're not the cheapest or easiest to get hold of, but I'll be sticking with them in future.
