Yokohama yk520 feedback

[sawdust123]

Discount Tires / Americas Tires sells the Yokohama YK520s. These are high performance all season tires with a 60K warranty. Anyone have and feedback on them.

I got 30K miles on my OEM RSAs and about 40K on my Kumho ASXs. I understand that this is pretty good wear for both tires. I guess I am easy on them. Who knows, maybe I can get 70-80K on the Yokos. If so, it is well worth their extra cost.

Overall economy (tread life, fuel economy) are going to be more important to me than cornering performance or weather performance. Low noise is important too as I conduct a lot of business while driving. I still want an M&S rating though for those occasional forays into the mountains. Other suggestions on tires that offer good economy are welcome.

well, it may be a bit late for a response to this one but...

I put the YK520 on my car and if I would have known how much better they are then the RS-A junk that was on there, I would have done it the first day I bought it.

excellent in the rain, goes through snow like a snowmobile.

I also have the drilled/slotted front and rear rotors.

grabs the road excellent (for a pt cruiser anyways)

and the 225/45/17 I put on look way tougher (again, tough for a PT) than the stock 205/50/17 that was on it.

I have not had them on long enough for an evaluation on tread life, but I am pleased with the overall tire itself.

I got 25k on the factory Eagle RSA's before I switched to the YK520's (225/50/17) @ $600+ or -.

Great tire wet, dry and in the corners but not worth a crap on milege.

I've got 45k now and it's time for a new set all around. The treadwear rating is a 520 on the sidewall but there is no way that could be true. Discount's web site says 60k warranty so I guess I need to call them and figure out whats up.

I have 20,000 on my 520 and I maybe have 5,000 left
