Price Paid:  $645.00 from America's Tire

Year / Model Reviewed:
2007 225R5017

Strengths:
Quiet. Good mileage.

Weaknesses:
Disappointing tire wear

Summary:
Have a 60k tire warranty. Have driven 30K miles & am a careful driver. Unfortunately, it's now in for replacement tires.
America's Tire will honor warranty and thus I have a significant savings coming. But, it's too soon to have to find replacement tires.

Strengths:
I have noticed much less road noise.

Ridiculously expensive!!!

I paid $506 at Discount Tires to replace my 2 front tires. Even with the free balance and rotation for the life of the tire I will never make up that price!! VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!

Price Paid:  $85.00 from Discount Tire

Year / Model Reviewed:
2003 Ford Focus ZX5

Strengths:
Handling

Weaknesses:
Treadwear

Summary:
This is a great handling tire and a significant improvement over the B.F Goodrich tires that were original on the car. For ZX5 owners, the tire handles very well in rain/snow and offers a secure yet responsive ride. The major drawback could perhaps be treadwear. Yokohama advertises a 60,000-mile limited warranty and I bought these thinking that the will last that long. 40,000 miles later, I am in need of new tires, even after following rotation guidelines. Overall, I would consider these again just because they handle so well.

Excellent Tire For Price and Performance. There may be better tires but they cost much more. You won't find a tire this good for under $100!

Strengths:
Quieter than the last 2 sets of tires, which were Goodyear and Michelins. Smoother riding, more traction in all weather. A pleasure to drive on the freeway, no wandering or drama.

Weaknesses:
None noted

Summary:
Yokohama YK520 tires-just about the best tires I've owned in the last 40 years!
