Summary

Description

Yokohama tires are designed to perform better, keep you safer, and take you further. The S.Drive is packed with technological advancements to deliver extraordinary grip and handling. With its broad range of sizes, more driving enthusiasts can experience Yokohama’s performance upgrade.

  • SUPERIOR HANDLING (Two ribs of large block elements create a stable outside tread area that provides powerful cornering and braking grip);
  • WET TRACTION (Advanced Micro Flexible Compound conforms to surface irregularities to maximize grip while four wide circumferential grooves evacuate water).

Snow/Ice Performance 
Very loud, first time I put them on I though my wheel hubs were going out. Absurd how loud they get on the highway, properly inflated and stored well, driven in summer temps only.
Comments
They look very nice. Used them on 1992 and 1997 Subaru SVX. Got the tires from a previous owner, one tire had a sidewall bubble despite tires being only one year old, he said he hit a curb. May not be as durable, maybe it was a very hard hit.

I'm pleased with these tires a lot. They provide great ride in the dry and good in the wet, but I felt a little hydroplaning when braking in the rain. The ride is quite comfortable.
