Most customers rate wet traction highly with scores of 9-10, praising confident grip and hydroplaning resistance. Some rate 7-8, still solid for all-season use.

At least as good as the OEM tires. Better comfort on highway conditions. Great wet traction.

...And traction for days with these, dry or wet...
These have significantly smoothed out the smaller bumps and cracks of city streets and interstates, and have made the car handle better over the big ones, even running the pressure a bit high for the vehicle to get better handling (34fr/33rr). And traction for days with these, dry or wet. Significantly better steering also over previous (Hankook). Only negative, which it probably won't be for everyone, is that the design of the tread where it meets the sidewall makes it not the most attractive tire on a car. I noticed it in the pictures but didn't think it would show so much when mounted. They do have this very visible x-like pattern near the sidewall. Small complaint though considering the performance on even an old vehicle.

I drove through the New York area snowstorm that occurred after Christmas 2025. I passed cars that had drifted into guardrails and ditches. I white-knuckled it the whole way home. I drove with greater attention and care than ever before in my life. I wouldn't have stood a chance without these tires. They saved me from disaster. They also saved me from having to pull off the highway to pay for a night at a hotel, so they've already paid for themselves.

Excellent wet performance and moderate snow. But the noise generated by these tires is not that far from an all-terrain tire. Also they pickup too much imperfections from the road.

...The tires hugged the road in sharp turns and curves. I did the Blue Ridge Mountain road and they were Five Star in all the curves up there...
This is my second set of tires. The first I bought at the beginning Covid, I am not sure of the mileage but I can tell you that I was satisfied. I read that most complaints were for noise and I agree. After talking with my Smith Infiniti service guy I learned that most harder tires aka sports tires tend to have noise due to how they are made. Knowing that I was comfortable with buying a second set. They definitely last longer than soft tires that give you the cushy ride. The price was excellent. I did my shopping around looking and comparing prices and well Yokohama won.
The tires hugged the road in sharp turns and curves. I did the Blue Ridge Mountain road and they were Five Star in all the curves up there. I hope this helps you make your decision.
My first set I paid 999.00 driving out of the shop. The new set I bought last month I paid 1290.00 driving out of the shop. I thought that was not to bad considering how much everything has gone sky high in pricing.

The tire is super comfort with great driving experience. It is quieter/more comfortable/better turning experience than my previous OEM GoodYear Fuel Max. I wished I had replaced the OEM tire earlier. It is on the comfort side but it is also great in driving situations such as braking distance, turning and lane switching. I had only being able to drive in dry highway situations. I would prefer this tire in my future installation. It fills the hype(that failed) on Continental TrueContact Tour 54 tire on the tire replacement on another car earlier this year.

Very comfortable and quiet with descent performance in the dry, wet and cold. Great touring tires on the highway.
These are only used as my non winter "summer" tires, so no experience in extreme winter weather.
Treadwear looks good so far (4k miles) and will likely purchase again.

I had the same tire for 10 years and 65000 miles and could have gone another 20000 miles but I wanted to be safe on the road and went ahead and replaced them. I live in Arizona and the hot weather can dry out the rubber but the tires I took off had no signs of cracking. I do garage my RAV4 so I'm sure that helps keep the tires from drying out. I am also meticulous on keeping my tire pressure up and even and rotate front to back (keeping tires on same side always) with every 5000 mile oil change. I will purchase another set of Yokohama tires when these reach 65000 miles.

...The treadwear is incredible. ... Putting them on at the 30k i right now have 149k on them. They still have some life but im buying them now again because i dont want to push it more then the insane amount i have on them now...
A fantastic tire all around. The treadwear is incredible. I had them on my last car but put new ones anyway because i gave my daughter my car. For my car. when the garbage tires the dealership gives you were useless after 30k , I bought them for my car a Camry SE . Putting them on at the 30k i right now have 149k on them. They still have some life but im buying them now again because i dont want to push it more then the insane amount i have on them now. Of course I feel a differance now but for at least 80k they ride as smooth as can be, extremly quiet and handle all very good. i wouldnt have put them on my daughters car if i didnt fully trust them. Highly recommend them.
