Yokohama  ADVAN Sport A/S+

I've only driven on various models of Yokohama tires since my very first car -- starting with the A509s. Most have been summer tires with a good wet rating. Of course, they wear out quickly and I'm finally at a point where I'll sacrifice some performance for better tread wear. After just over 1,000 miles, I think these are a great compromise.

Specifically, I'm very happy with the wet traction. I was able to drive them on the freeway through several downpours (atmospheric rivers) dumping lots of water onto the road. The ADVAN SPORT A/S+ were confidence inspiring and I felt I was able to drive very similarly to what I would in dry conditions.

In general steering tracks well and they are grippy enough for moderate to mildly aggressive cornering (although I don't push cornering as hard as I used to). I'll be interested in how they perform during the summer in comparison to my old summer tires, but all in all, I'm very satisfied.

Excellent All Season tires. They have been tested in light snow, rain and dry. The S2000 is a sharp handling machine from Japan. Adding these Japanese Advan Yokohamas turns it into a handling beast. Braking and acceleration is amazing. Going through corners is fast and quick responding. Even uphill has excellent grip. A must have tire. A+ rating.

Loved these tires, I miss them and this car. Far better then the stock Michelins AS that came on it and Continental AS I had on my Acura Sport Wagon. Very poised on the road with excellent wet (Oregon rain) and good snow traction (Boston Winter) compared to the other all season tires I had on this vehicle. I moved from the East coast to the West coast on these tires and had a good diverse experience with them. The tread and performance was still great even on their last mile. If you have a mid or compact sedan or wagon your making the right choice!

They perform well in wet weather and light snow.

These are excellent all around tires at a very good price. I used mine through an entire New Hampshire winter before I bought my Blizzaks, without any problems. Definitely buying again. One caveat: find a good shop to switch your tires over seasonally as the beads are VERY fragile. DO NOT let some ham fisted gorilla shop handle these Yokos as the beads may delaminate if damaged. But like I said, excellent tires and am definitely buying again.

I recently replaced my Pirelli Cinturato's with this tire. The Pirelli's were good tires but delivered a firmer ride than I wanted along with moderate road noise with a distinct "thump" when I hit a pothole. I was looking for a good all season tire for typical northern California driving that gave me a softer ride and less road noise without sacrificing performance. This tire provides all that. My car has the AMG package with pretty firm shocks and this scaled that feel back about 10-20 percent. It is a softer, quieter ride with exceptional dry grip so far. If you want a hard ride this isn't the tire for you but if you want comfort and serenity combined with good performance this is the way to go.

Yokohama Advan Sport A/S+: My car came (new) with Michelin Summer Performance tires (Pilot Sport 4). I got these for Winter, Spring, (not Summer), and Fall driving on a set of wheels (Enkei EKM3) so that I could swap them out with the stock wheels/tires when the weather gets bad. Basically I'll keep the Michelins on May - Sept and have these on the rest of the year.

I was expecting a significant decrease in performance versus the Michelins given that these are all-season tires and the Michelins are Summer Performance tires, but I was very happily surprised that these grip quite well in the dry compared to the Michelins. I regularly push my car to the tires' traction limits and these start to give just a little before the Michelins do. The ride is quieter than the Michelins and they have a very similar feel at the edge of their traction limits. Both tires are very predictable and give good feel of the road through the pedals/suspension. Given that these are about $400 cheaper per set and have nearly twice the warranty length is quite impressive.

I have not had a chance to drive in the wet or snow, and I haven't had these tires very long so I can't comment on traction in inclement weather or actual tread life, but I think it's quite impressive that the performance in the dry is so stellar. Just based on this, if I had to choose one tire for year-round driving, I would have no regrets choosing these. Great job Yokohama.

These tires were a substantial improvement over the OEM dunlops. The ride quality and noise were much improved. I would recommend them and would buy again.

These tires replaced Continental DWS-06's. As the Conti's had close 40k on them and I had a (unrepairable)nail in sidewall of one of them, I decided to replace all 4 tires. They had been getting noisy and ride was deteriorating.
I was very pleased with the new Yokohama's! I noticed almost immediately they were quieter and smoother riding the the Conti's ever were. At around 20k on them, they are still quiet and smooth with plenty of tread left. Not sure how they would work for occational autocrossing as I don't do that anymore, but for daily getting around they are great. I highly recommend this tire for sport sedans.

I bought these tires only bc I needed to match the front set on my vehicle. I would’ve bought DWS’s but the front set was practically new, so it wasn’t feasible. Anywho, I’ve had these on the car now for 15000 miles and they are just “okay”. The performance overall is average for an all season tire, there is much left to be desired. In the dry I can break traction pretty easily, in the wet even easier. Being in NYC w/ the snow and ice during the winter I have almost no confidence that I’d be ok driving on these sadly. The only positive for me is the tread wear. I had to do brake work on the rear one day, took the wheels off and I was shocked at how little wear there was on the tires, even after 15000 miles.

My next purchase is going to be either the general AS05 or the Continental DWS 06+

Driving around Missouri can be an adventure, from changing weather to potholes the size of basketballs. These tires have handled everything beautifully so far. Treadwear is excellent (with tire rotations of course). These hook up wonderfully in the rain and the ride is very smooth. Highly recommend!

I have had these on my car for 55K miles and they still have plenty of tread. Longest lasting tire I have ever owned. Great dry and wet and are quiet. At 50K they got more noise but that is expected. Will buy them again.
