Yokohama S.drive

Does anybody have any experience with these tires? I know they are fairly new to the market, but they seem like a good tire for the price. I'm looking for a quiet, durable UHP tire for my 8, I've narrowed my search to these tires along with the Nitto 555s.

I'm looking for the stock size Size (225/45R-18). I'm wondering are these Yokohamas a better choice than the Nittos for light track usage.

I've driven on them several times. Good over all traction in dry and wet. As long as you rotate (yes i know they are directional, that mean dismounting and remounting) and keep correct air pressure they are quiet and stay quiet.

225/45R18 Yokohama S.DRIVE -- 157.00
245/40R18 Yokohama S.DRIVE -- 158.00

I still have to throw this out there, 225/45/18 Bridgestone Potenza S03 are still on clearance for 115.00 each. One of the best performance tire made at the econo tire pricing.

The Yoko S are really good tires. I'm buying the same ones come this spring if that helps.

Conner: I too am in the market for a HP summer tire. I have worn out my OE Bridgestones in only about 14,000 mi. Am looking for the performance, but with a bit more wear. Any suggestions? I have been looking at the Kumho Ecsta MX and the Potenza S-03 Pole Postions.

Thanks,

Edwin
