Is anyone out there using this tire?

What is your opinion?

 

Wife has them on her Camary. Great all around tire for the family car with excellent grip in wet weather. She drives it hard, has 40,000 miles on them and has 40%tread life left....but I just ditched my stock run flats and put Michelin pilot sport AS3's on my R56. Much better grip wet & dry! Also went from the 195/55R16's to a 205/55R16. Lost 1-2 mpg but MUCH improved ride/noise reduction & way better cornering!!!!!!! Not sure if the drop in MPG isn't just due to having more fun!? These things feel like Velcro!

 

I have them on my MINI in 205/50-16 and been very pleased with them. Indicated speed is about 4pct higher than actual (per GPS). I'm pretty conservative in my driving style. Fuel mileage seems to be a bit better than my previous tires.

 

This is a new eco all season tire from Yokohama, not much info besides the routine ads about Orange Oil.

Tires are split by speed ratings of H vs V but both can be used with a MINI.

If comfort is a priority then consider Michelin Primacy MXV4.

A good all around tire on par with the YK580 price is Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus, gives up a little on handling but does well on the testing.

Continental PureContact doesn't come in sizes friendly to the MINI.
