Yokohama A Drive

Advertised as a low rolling resistance tyre, I was taken aback by the increase in noise over the OEM Dunlop SP10A's of the same size when I drove it out of the tyre suppliers yard. Soon found out where the energy for all the noise was coming from as MPG dropped from a 46mpg average to 41mpg. Wears better than the Dunlops, but not by enough to pay for the extra fuel. Pretty well worn out at 22,000 miles (Dunlops shot at 20,000m).

Bought them for the wife's Note to replace the stock conti's and very impressed, car feels far more glued to the road than it had previously. No noticable ware so far so can't knock them!

replaced a set of budget tyres with the A drives (roughly the same price) and the difference is like chalk and cheese, much more grip in both dry and wet, tyres holding up extremely well after 10,000 miles, only fault i can find is the tight tread picks up loose stones etc.

a great tyre at an even greater price
