Yokohama YK520 Tire

Pros: Smooth, quiet, lasts long, asymmetrical design, good traction, mileage warranty
Cons: Not very responsive, recent price increases

My 2004 Infiniti G35 came with mediocre Bridgestone Turanza EL42 tires. You can see in my review of the EL42 how mediocre they were. Even before ...

Pros: Quiet, smooth, good turn-in.
Cons: Tires required lots of weights to achieve proper balance.

Just purchased these tires for my SAAB 9-5 Sedan. I originally had Kumho's (inexpensive tire) and normally buy Michelin's but decided to try these. My old tires had very little weights added to achieve balance (under 3/4 ounces total per tire or less). Two of my new YK-520's have over 2 ounces of weights for balance. This to me, indicates a poorly constructed tire. The Dealer also paid no attention to the yellow alignment marks on the tire (normally placed at the valve stem). The tires ride quiet and smooth. I and convinced if I would have bought the Michelin's I wouldn't have all these unsightly weights on my nice wheels for the world to see.

Pros: Excellent handling, ride and wear
Cons: none

Bought and installed by Discount Tire.
I bought the first set of YK520's for a Chrysler Pacifica (P235/65HR-17). The tires were much better than the Michelin tires that came on the Pacifica. After 10,000 I was still so impressed I bought a second set of YK520's for a 1999 Mercedes C230 Kompressor. The Mercedes rides and drives much better with the YK520's than it did with Bridgestone Potenza RE950's.
