Yokohama C Drive2

Have been driving on a full set of C Drive 2s for 18 months, having covered 7000 miles. They have ruined the feel of my A4 and I really wish I'd stuck to the previously fitted Toyo Proxes T1-Rs and not been taken in by the hype.
Wear is just about average.
Grip in the dry is not great, the traction control/ESP frequently kicking in when pulling away from a standstill or when taking a roundabout at sensible speeds - something never experienced with the OE Bridgestones or the Toyos.
Grip in the wet is dire, and diabolical in snow, even when new.
Am only waiting for a little more wear so that I can put some decent rubber on my car again.
Not recommended!

i live in northern Italy and i had the Michelin Energy Saver before.they came with the car and they were great.except on the wet, when they tended to slip quite a bit, but i think that was fair enough, the car being a very "tain happy one".still dangerously slippery,don't get me wrong.when those wear out i went to an unkown tyre dealer and he said he had these yokohama c drive 2 on a discount. by his descripsion they were the perfect tyres for me: did exceptionally good on the wet ,good in the dry too, even if they were just summer tyres.i've had them for about 1000 miles already and these past few days a snow storm hit my part of the world, with snow rising to alarming levels.since recently in Italy it's obligatory to either have tyre chains or winter ones,during these conditions i've mounted my chains.i had no choise , because i had the feeling that without them, with only the yokohamas on i would sail on snow, rather then drive. i was bitterly dissapointed by them, since even with the chains on, driving at no more then 40 km/h the car was trembling allarmingly and the tail slipped a lot.i would definetly not buy them again.

Superb wet grip, good dry grip and relatively comfortable. There is quite a bit of road noise on the highway.

These tires are one of the few tires which are genuinely comfortable and will alleviate most harshness which usually comes with sporty tires! The grip is surprisingly very good but I think this comes at the expense of tire life. So far my new tires seems to have very little wear even though I had them for 5 weeks. This has made my car more comfortable for those outstation trips with confidence. I had Michelin PP2 and Bridgestone Adrenalin tires before!

These were fitted to the front of the car; wore down to 5mm after only 3000 miles of average driving 50% motorway the rest A-roads and in town. Had the car MoT'd after 500 miles on these and was shocked when the main dealer said there was 6mm on them. Despite the tread pattern the wet grip is a bit unnerving and often feels like being on a greasy road surface. I had Uniroyal Rainsports on before these and they were much better. Dry grip is okay but it is the wet grip and shocking wear that would convince me not to buy these again.

Good tyre, quite comfortable and good grip

Just fitted two new front Yokohamas C Drive 2 this morning, the choice was based on the outstanding feedback and rating score of the previous C Drive, tyre is absolutely fantastic, silent, tested the car on motorway, never experienced that grip and acceleration with my slow Citroen Xsara 1.4 before especially from 50 to 70 MPH on motorway slip roads, I think it will change my driving style, with the excellent grip dry and wet (luckily it was raining today). Handling is much more precise and no more pressure on the gas pedal. Very happy with that and would buy another two in future.
