in 245/45-18 for $176 ea. I figure that's really like $60 each if they wear out in 20k like all the others.

What say ye? They are VR rated, not Y or Z, so they must give up some dry traction -- but I'm probably OK with that as long as they're good in the wet. I'm tired of buying tires for this car.<ul><li><a href="http://www.yokohamatire.com/TireIntro.asp?TireID=500">Yoko YK520</a></li></ul>

are brand new and just hit the market. He had one tire on hand to show me. Plenty of sipping, etc. Looks to be a great option for an allseason tire.

As far as I know only Discount Tire sells them and they are not new on the market.

they were off.

$60 each if they DON'T wear out at 20,000 miles, right?

ShowMeData

If they wear out at 20k, then the first replacement tire is ~$60 ea (because I'd get 40k miles (or 2/3) credit for premature wear). Not sure what happens if they wear out again at 40k. Maybe not quite as good a deal as I thought.

Though if they actually do last 60k, it would be a bargain for sure.

The 60K limited warranty is on 15-17" sizes (according to PDF)

We'll see how they last. They are pretty new and are an upgrade from the YK420's. I have Yokahama Avid H4s on the jetta and since these are almost equvalent in every spec, we are trying them out.
