sticks to the road like glue sticks to paper. I would definitely recommend these tires to anyone.

Exellent grip.

Cornering

Very noisy

Great performance tires. Biggest complaint is the noise.

As mentioned earlier, the tire is very aggressive looking, reassuring the driver through it's carefully inserted grooves that this tire was born for dry pavement while having the inborn ability to slice through rain as though the tire would never dream of hydroplaning. The rubber compound is soft, which gives a low profile tire the deceiving feel of having more rubber between the rim and the road. The A520 also maximizes the grip, or handling ability of whatever car it is mounted to, which is a great safety feature. The Yokohama A520 is by no means an inexpensive tire, yet compared to other products, you cannot find a better tire for the dollar, you really do "get what you pay for" with the Yokohama A520!

The soft rubber compound will not have the same tread life as other less expensive, less satisfying tires.

After 1 year of ownership in my new Elantra GT1, I decided it was time for a set of upgraded rims and tires. The garage owner suggested a set of Yok's, and we settled on the A520's. I have to admit, since experiencing the Yokohama A520's I can't imagine why anyone would choose another product. I read the other reviews and will state that I haven't noticed the excessive road noise others have commented on, but I agree with their positive comments regarding ride quality, handling, and not to forget the esthetics of the tire (very aggressive). I will be looking forward to purchasing a set of Yokohama's for each of the many vehicles I will purchase before the authorities strip my driver's license from my hands.

Initially I started with a set of 205/40ZR17 Avon SS1's. I was extremely disappointed with the wet and dry performance of the tire which can be described as hard and unforgiving. I would also describe

Great on dry and wet roads

REALLY SUCKS in snow. i know these arent snow tires but dont ever try driving these tires in the snow...

Great tires. Best performance tires ive ever used.

accept nothing less.

road noise, small price to pay for the performance these tires offer.

These tires are quite argueably the best tires I have used. They have immense grip, I can throw my car into the corner. These tires are responsive. You can feel when they are at thier limit, but they don''t even complain they never squeal. Wet traction is to be expected of this type of tire, which is good. Snow traction is terrible, but snow is not the function of these tires. Road noise is high, small price to pay for the performance they offer. Just turn the radio up, and you cannot even notice the noise.Bottom line if you want performance step up to these babies, If road noise is going to bother you then performance tires aren''t for you.

Ultra Extreme GRIP!!!

Payoff for short life span.

My Yoks were 205/40''''s mounted on 17" Tenzo Shuz. I only had the opportunity to test them for about a week until a kid hit me making a U-turn in a residential without looking or signaling. But with the short amount of time I did spend with them I did very much enjoy. Probably the most influential component in handling is the tires and I must say these made a tremendous impact on my handling prowress. They are confidence inspiring. My car also had sprint springs with stock shocks but, the car felt very grippy. It''''s even hard to push these tires to their limits of adhesion. These tires probably won''''t last long though as they have a very soft compound and a low treadwear rating. You can even did your fingernails into these things. As for the aforementioned noise, I didn''''t even notice.

Hook up, ultimate grip, and break away

loud, tractability on the street and tire life!

I have a 95 Integra GS-R with a drag gen 2 turbo kit and really like the A520s. They hook up pretty well at the track and have a very smooth and predictable break away but the tires just have horrible tire life. I am only getting 7000 miles on the average. Maybe I should step up to a more expensive tire.

Unbelievable grip. That was the first impression I got from them. The construction of the tyre also make the handling of the car more responsive. My car is FWD and the A520 makes 'lift-off oversteer' much easier to control due to its progressive and predictable nature. Truely confidence inspiring. I like a car that is direct to the point of beeing 'pointy' and this tyre just suits me.
Another nice feature is that there is not much tyre screech, which means you won't attract too much attention. As for wet weather handling, I'd say that it is very good through longer corners, the A520 don't really like quick changes in direction when its wet.

Tyre wear and the NOISE.

Paid AUD$127 each. I would definately recommend it for the driving enthusiast who won't mind the noise.

The A520 replaced the Original Equipment tyres (Goodyear Eagle GA). There is simply no comparison. Like going from Flintstone 'rock for tyres' to nice grippy rubber.
