C32 AMG
fitted all corners brand new at 77000kms
at 110000kms (now) the fronts are 70% left and the rears 50%
longevity wise i'm extremely happy
grip wise in dry and wet, i'd give them 7/10
before these, i tried bridgestone RE55S semi slicks, these motha of tyres really G.R.I.P!
but doesn't last more than 10000kms and the noise and vibration is unbearable

Thanks for the input guys. I am on Falkens at the moment, and the dry traction form a stand still is atrocious ....... so I am looking for the yokohamas to have some decent grip off the line.

The front (235/40ZR18) are available in 2 different versions, the Porsche tyre which has a load rating of 91Y, and the other version which has a load rating of 95Y.
Does the higher load rating equate to a stiffer side wall and better handling ?

I used them on my 95 M3 for auto-x and I loved them, they take a little while to heat up but once they do they grip really nice! I actually got a lot of miles out of them compared to other tires I have used in the past. I think you will be very happy for them if you get them...Let us know what you do
