Without a doubt the worst tyres I've ever bought. Gone through several sets of conventional AVS tyres in the past, so thought I'd give these new 'quieter' dB versions a try. Had no end of handling problems with my car from the day these were fitted. After half a dozen lengthy visits to my garage over the course of several months to check the tracking, wheel alignment, balance, suspension, you name it they checked it, eventually got rid of the tyres and everything was perfect again. My garage does the race team for Nissan Europe so they definitely know what they're doing (one of the few GTR dealerships in the UK). Had their own race team driver take my car out and even he said he'd couldn't explain it and had never seen anything like it before. Yokohama took the tyres back for investigation but reckoned there was nothing wrong with them despite a written report from the garage and Nissan. Reckon I'm the best part of £2k out of pocket with the initial cost of these tyres and all the messing about. Avoid at all costs is my advice.

Replaced with another make but would have bought the same again if available at the time

Only issue with the tyres was that before they got to the end of their tread they ripped round the edge along the circumferetial tread pattern edge. Annoying!
