Not cheap but a good tyre. 35,000km on a Mazda MX5 driven reasonably hard. Excellent grip and very even wear considering the amount of hard cornering. A little noisy but that could have something to do with wheels being just behind the seats in the MX5

Great tyres at the best price

foundthe tyres a bit pricey but then they all are for the size tyre I needed. The tyres themselves are well worth the money...excellent grip in the wet they are wearing ok and I do rotate every 10k km. Yokohama do make an excellent tyre.
The purchase through tyre sales was flawless...so easy. Highly reccommend and would consider using again for my next tyre purchase

I 'read all the things' before getting the Advans, even had a store ringing me offering me a price somewhere like 60% of what these cost to put on Nitto Invos. Having never actually pulled the car off the road, put on a set of Pirelli P Zero's, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup or Bridgestone Potenza's and gone back to back with them, I cannot say if they are 'better' or 'worse' than the comparison brand, though at the price point of $120-150 less per tyre, I saved close to $800.
Besides the price, I scoured the Audi and BMW race forums all recommending the Advan's, then got a bit sold on the 'these are our best' and the 'limousine quietness and race tyre performance' quotes on the Yokohama site with a picture of the Nurburgring.
You see I wanted a road tyre for my slightly modified B7 2.0T Quattro Audi Avant that I could take to the Australian Tarmac Rally Championships.
What astonished both myself and my co-driver who also has a motorsport background, is screaming through the turns on the way to Mt Baw Baw and up the hill, on the wrong side of the road, in the wet, at up to 120-130 kph (because the roads are closed, as we are in a rally stage), there is no difference, absolutely no difference, between this tyres grip in the wet or the dry. It's quite surprising.
Since then I've flogged it through the hills at another round of the Aus. Tarmac Championships in the TSD category and the tyres have a lovely controlled friction point, they want to grab, they want to work and if the temperature plummets or soars they don't mind (we went from 4 degrees and pouring rain to 29 degrees in 3 hours).
I'll be buying another set and using them for Targa Tasmania 2018.
Also, my wife mainly drives the car and I am confident there is absolutely no way she would be in a situation (or I would) in normal road circumstances that these tyres would not cope with.
They are quiet too and run beautifully on 4-5+ hour drives, even if we've completely loaded the car and the roof racks.
Who would have thought hey, it does what it says on the can - "limousine quietness and race tyre performance"

I chose these because they were the original ones that came with the car. Needed replacement at 50,000k. No issues with them at all. Happy with price and quality.

Good value set of tyres.
Changed the originals that came with the car (Lancer) after 2.5 years and 120,000Km. They probably could have gone another 10,000. I'm expecting to get similar mileage from this set.
I will be attempting to get the same again if I have to purchase a 3rd set as I've had no issues with them thus far.
