BTW, you changed your GoodYears on day one it seems. Why? Could you elaborate? Any specific reason for getting rid of them? You've said "crappiest", are they really that bad? If yes, then its a matter of concern for me since my car came with GoodYear GT3s, which I found really well balanced. Pretty good compound on the harder side, efficient tread, comfortable ride and a little noise. Let me know why you switched to Yokos please.
Wishing you unlimited safe & happy miles with your Jet!

Thanks Reinhard. The GYs has a consistent history of bubbling issues. Two of my very close faced similar problems and thus they had to change the brands. To stay on the safer side I changed the tyres to yoko S drives bcoz of two reasons-
1. The four discs + ABS + EBD should have equally complimenting tyres.
2. Complimenting the power of car and giving ease at curves. Remember that the steering of car will never let you down, but you need to be confident of your tyres at high speeds.
But yes I truly agree that the GY were very comfortable as compared to Yokos but again the usage of both tyres are different. Quote:

To make it very simple for you, the rear is cramped for three. If you can visualize the position of rear seat belts, the point where it touches the shoulder of passenger becomes quite iritative and starts pinching.
Though may dad is quite on the fat side, but the other two i.e. my mom and wife are rather on the skinny side. They complained a lot about crampiness.
Another news coming in, I hope I do not have to start a new thread again. Two of my S drives got the sidewall damaged .. Tyre is with Tyre Empire and as told by them, they are sending it to the company for inspection. (Before any guessing reason comes in) my car has not hit any pothole or speed breaker at high speed. The crack also does not looks like it has happened due to high speed hitting or something.
I am waiting for response from tyre empire guys.
Hoh!. I dont know why life is never stable :-( ... |
