Are Yokohoma tyres any good?

[SC_New]

Just went for 50k svc at Tan Chong (UBI). The guys said my tyres worn out and need to be replaced. He said they were having a promo for Yokohoma tyres at $125 each. Are these tyres any good?

Which model is that? Agent is always very marked up prices for tyres....can always get better price outside.....pple change at agent due to convenience.....

Thanks for your help. They mentioned ES 501 @ 102 each.  They also mentioned 185/65-14 which I don't know what it means.

OIC. Currently I am on this ES501 as well....but i got 15" @ $95 each....ES501 is Yokohama DNA dB ES501....quiet & comfort tyres.....but some will say wet grip no good....to each his own...

185 is the tyre width
65 is the tyre sidewall in % reference to tyre width
14 is the size in inches

Hope I am correct.....

Strange...your latio is on 14" rim. I thought all latio are on 15" rim, no?

My latio sport stock tyres is 185/65/15...after 40Km and a skid I had it changed it to 195/60/15 to improve road grip and better cornering speed of 50~60km/hr at the highway.

For $125/pc I would take Hankook K415 195/60/15 at $84  (it's grippy but not so silent when road is rough) as there is a 30% Hankook tyres discount till end of this month. Otherwise I would add $10 more to take Bridgestone GR90 195/60/15 at $135 (grippy & quieter). 

I used to have the Hankook Blackbird V2 195/60/15 at $104. It's really sticky, quiet & good value - I simply love it but I don't know why they stopped selling this particular model now

hi sc_new.

with that kind of price you might want to take a look at other tires like goodyear nct, hankook k415, kumho etc...

How long your hankook 415 last? mine was fairly fast must change so I was thinking of other brands...
if go delgro - can do free rotation and nitrogen gas... at hankook - need to pay $8

If I'm not wrong the Falken @ TCM is the 912 model which some people will caution you about it's wet grip. Your GR80 is a very good tyre and the current model is GR90 which also has very good reviews. If you like the GR80, why dun you stick to the GR90?

The Michelin equivalent to GR90 is the XM-1 which i have been using for quite a few years liao. Price is similar to GR90, about $130 per tyre and very quiet and good wet grip.

hi zippy

gd info.

xm-1? 130/tyre oh. quiet n gd wet grip?

gr80 so far so gd, i am comfortable with it. how much is gr90 now?

I've used bridgestone and I only like their Potenza series, which has slightly more aggressive threading. Those tyres mentioned, at $130.00, what size are they?
I'm on the V12 from Hankook at the moment and am very happy with it. Have more than 10k km on them now now and still very quiet for the aggressive type of thread that in on the Tyre. Sidewall is slightly harder than the V8s that I was previously on. Turn in is a little quicker than those softer wall V8s. Don't feel aquaplaning when I pass thru those puddles of water and you know there are plenty of them at the moment. Don't ask me how is the grip for wet weather, never really take hard corners when it's wet and I've no intention to push those tyres to the limit, wet or dry, just that I really want the features to be there just in case it's needed. Hankook will also do 4 wheel alignment for you at $50.00 if you join their member or use their tyres. Did the 4 wheel alignment on Monday and the steering was tilted slightly and I went back to rectify that today, no questions asked.

Think I paid $525 for the set of tyres 205/55/16 - rating is 94W when I changed my tyres in December. Voucher worth $55.00. go to their site at www.shhtyres.com.sg and take a look. I think the promotion is still on as I saw it on their site.

$130/tyre is for 195/60 R15

Bro..u can try the yokohama AD08 very good in dry and wet

[iagree]

Yokohama?

What abt GR90? Am currently using GR80 (from 35k km to now 90k km liao). Really, it is time to change, it's one of the most important parts of the car also - road contact.

iagree, good to see that you are able to post again. GR90 is not bad. Personally on A-Drive.

[Jazz]

My next set of tyres will be either GR90, XM-1 or LS-2000.  No more UHP tyres like my current PP2.
