I have put on about 200 miles since new tires. The Yokohama S drives are a great everyday tire. I have to say, they track great on the roads around here. I couldnt stand fighting the steering wheel if the road was rutted out. Now, there is no pulling at all. I an basically let my had off the wheel at spots on the road I know to be bad with no problems. This also fixed my high speed shake. I have had it up to 130mph with no shake at all. Finally, the car feels like I knew it could!

They are very good in wet weather. I feel like steering response is a tad slower here and there but not that noticeable. They look awesome.. very aggressive and excellent tread pattern. High speed corning is on par with the Zeros. I havent really pushed that issue yet. I will report back next time I take a few on off ramps.

We will see how they hold up. For the money I give a strong nod!

Not that I'm against a little "cloverleaf racing", but if you want to really put your tires to the test, find an autocross that's scheduled around where you live. Get out on the course and let us know what happens. A course will be a controlled environment with a lot of turns and braking situations, a true test of those Yoko S's.

I purchased the S-Drives in September of '07 and have been very happy with them.
I have put on 7K miles since Sept, the tread has been holding out just fine.

No experience tracking, this is my daily driver.


Kind regards,
Halo
