Fitted as standard to my Mazda3. Fronts lasted 38,000 miles and rears lasted 50,000 miles.A quiet tire, with good handling characteristics. slightly more expensive than the competition, but all in all a good tire as I would expect from Yokohama.

Fitted by the factory on our 2014 Mazda 8 2.3. Had to replace after 45000km due to low profile (about 2.5mm left all around).
Quiet, comfortable tire with a good wear for our heavy MPV. Good handling in the dry, but poor performance in the wet. I never experienced aquaplaning, but starting on a red light or uphill on wet roads set the tires spinning easily. Also breaking at low speeds in parking decks or cornering over a manhole sent the car slipping easily.

Rubbish cornering ability, compared to Michelin Premacy 3. Not dare trying in wet condition.
Quite confortable and quiet.

Best for my van

I drove my Yokohama Aspecs past the 52,000km mark in my Japanese/Asia Market Odyssey. They perform well in the dry and in lateral grip, with immediate response which I would attribute to a strong sidewall or good compound. The tread pattern itself is unremarkable and probably not the best for drag racing: it easily spins during wet redlight acceleration even back when it was only 20k. As OEM tires they are very good, but I changed to Bridegestone RE002 now because the Yokies are too expensive.

Fitted as OE, 26k miles fronts are at 3mm, rears 5mm so quite good wear rate. A good tire for an undemanding car/driver, not the cheapest but a solid choice all round.
