Yokohama dB super E spec Reviews

Given 70% (breakdown) while driving a Honda Civic FD1 1.8 i Vtec (205-60-15-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 600,000 average miles
I had these tyres installed in my Honda Civic 8th Gen to replace the worn out stock fitted Bridge Stones.

The highlight of the Yoko's is the comfort. They are extremely silent and soft on the car's suspension. In the first few weeks after getting these installed i actually looked forward to driving my car at work and around town everyday as the car felt quite and smoother than before. The tyres absorbed the bumps on the road beautifully.

The wet grip of Yoko's is normal, In my opinion the bridge stones when new offered a much better grip in wet conditions. The confidence level remains a little low when negotiating round abouts and narrow exits from the flyovers and motorways .I felt the car slipping away a little at speed of 50-60KM when negotiating narrow turns.

The dry grip however was satisfactory.

Driving on mostly town for 14,000 easy going miles
OEM fitment on a 2007 Yaris; Quiet running tyres and good dry grip. Average in the wet, but hopeless in slushy, snowy winter weather. Nowhere near the confidence levels/capability given by the Bridgestone Touranzas on our other Toyota.
But worst of all is the very high wear rate for tyres that are driven gently around urban area with very little motorway use. Down to wear bars on the fronts at only 13,500 miles.

Driving on a combination of roads for 30,000 average miles
Have been using the tyre for my past 3 cars i've own.

Compared to major brands slient/comfort for this tyres are thumbs UP

Taxi company in singapore should invest on this for their customer comfort. An incident when i was in singapore that their mercedes cabs are using low budget tyres, causing the tyre hollow sound when travelling at 80km/h and above which i think it should be changed for customer comfort.

Such a comfortable car on budget tyres like *Taxi Radial, Hankook OPTIMO K715, Pirelli P3000 and Goodyear EfficientGrip.

Great tyre for daily driving currently on 50,000km yet the threading are still good for another 10,000km.
