Thanks for bringing these tires to my attention. My only concern re: these tires over the Michelins are that the Yokos are directional tires. I have had problems in the past with directional tires getting noisy with age, due to the fact that you can only rotate them front to back and not side to side.

This seems to me to more easily create uneven wear, especially if your car is not in perfect alignment.

What are your thoughts?

 

I have not had any experience with directional tires other than the winter tires I have on my TCH. This is the second year for them, so obviously I rotate them from front to rear each year. Seems like there are a lot of directional tires on the market anymore, I do not consider it a problem, but I understand your concerns.

Maybe someone else can shed some light.
