Great looking tire, typical Yokohama, decent (but not overly impressive) dry grip and pretty average in the wet, only appear progressive in the wet as the grip limits are so low, definitely one for the guys that prefer looks over performance.

I found these tires to be almost ideal for sports road driving. The feedback is good and inspires confidence, the dry grip is very good and wet grip resonable. The tires strongest point is that it breaks away in a soft very user friendly way.
The only down sides are the reletively short life span and slightly higher than average noise levels.

More of a Track tire that can be used as a road tire, but grip in the dry is quite phenominal.

Wet grip is not what these tires are about so it seems unfair to judge them on this merrit. Ultimately though they are a little unsuitable for fast driving in the wet.

The compound is very soft so dont expect them to last more than 5000 miles.

Will have another set as any other tire will feel lame in comparison.

They also happen to look pretty trick if you like that sret of thing.
