Yokohama S Drive Reviews:

Given 80% (breakdown) while driving a Toyota BB (215-45-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 20,000 spirited miles
These tires replaced my BFG KDW's... they do not come close to the amazing level of grip the BFG's had. The S Drives real strong point is the ride comfort... For driving on bad roads these are the tires to get. For all out grip, look somewhere else.

These seem to have been a good choice, the grip in the dry is very good, I tend not to push the car in the wet so it is difficult to get a good view but they seem OK

Driving on a combination of roads for 3,200 average miles
I bought it based on Mubull's (of autoworld.com.my) recommendation. I will not buy this tire again. There are better tyres for this money.Try the famous Bridgestone Adrenalin or Continental CSC2 or Goodyear F1 or Falken. Perhaps Mubull had some unseen commission in the process? I would be selling this urgently soon.

Given 51% (breakdown) while driving a BMW E46 3 Series (---)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3,600 spirited miles
I replaced the Falken 452 with the much hyped Yokohama S-drives. This turn out to be a big mistake I ever made on this car! Although the S-drive feel comfortable and fairly quiet, it simply cannot match the Falken in terms of wet grip power and agility. In fact, the S-drive (supposedly based on nanotechnology )has strong tendencies to collect small stones onto the rubber compound! Just park and see what I mean. So many small bits stuck into the rubber for some reason. Perhaps the S-drive researchers did not anticipate their customers using it any normal roads!?
