there's 10+ pages about the tire that should be on page 3 to 5.

mine are exactly 1rd old and i've had nothing but great things to say about the tires. if it stopped raining here in SD i would take pictures what tires are like a year later because they're holding up a lot better than the oems...

These sound like a bargain. I haven't been impressed with my Yoko S drives.

Just mounted mine 3 days ago, so far so good. They are quiet on the highway, and the grip is definitely a step up from my last Fuzion ZRI's

i've got them on my S.. an over all nice tire.. on the curves, I can feel some of the tire flex though, or maybe it's just me taking the curv a bit too aggressively..
