Yokahama YK580

So I have had my Yokohama YK580 on the back for at least 3500 miles. They are not bad tires. They had good reviews or Discount tire. They are good when it comes to being smooth and quiet. They are advertised to help with fuel economy which means nothing to me. I will say when I read that though. I expect compromised grip. When it is dry do pretty well going straight from a full throttle start. Dry turns arent too terrible up to 40mph at about 1/4-1/2 throttle. When the tires to let go. It is very predictable and then very controllable. Wet starts and turns though are a different story. Sliding comes in randomly. You have to do serious play with the gas pedal, too much in my opinion. They are great tires if you dont really do any hard driving, and you live where its warm. But, I will probably go with ContiPros or Michelins next time.

I got the Nitto's on the car and they have a good feel so far, might be worth checking out as well.
