I've heard they don't last long but they are doing great on my Lotus Elise.
I'm on my 3rd season on mine with about 60 runs and the same 60 second course a season and I just put in my best performance last month.
Yoks are fast asf. Between the yoks and my new years resolution of "don't be a bitch" I picked up something like 2 seconds over last year.
Here's how my tires look after this season. This is \~75-80 runs total on a 60s course on concrete. There's still meat on the bone, but I don't think there's another 80 left. I'll be buying more tires by the middle of next season at the latest.
I run General Grabbers on my vehicles. Great traction and longevity.
I just purchased new Yokohama @ $230 each. I didn't notice a difference in sound and still getting the same 3.2 kwh as OEM Dunlops. With 11/32 depth, my Ariya handles better with the Yokohamas.
I had a set of all weather general tire Altimax and omg. Abit pricy but it’s basically two sets of tires in one.. I’ve had all seasons before and it doesn’t compare to the confidence I had with my all weather.
That 3.5L V6 is buttery smooth and powerful — proper sleeper sedan feel.
Cabin’s still super comfy, feels premium even today.
Reliable engine if maintained right, and new Yokohamas are a good sign someone cared.
You’ll definitely stand out — not many V6s left running around.
It drinks fuel like crazy. Expect 5–6 km/l in city, maybe 9 on highways if you drive easy.
Honda never sold too many V6s, so some parts can be pricey or take time to source.
The timing belt change is expensive (₹50–70k job with labour and water pump).
Regular service at a good garage will be around ₹15–20k; authorised service centers will charge more.
VCM (cylinder deactivation) can act up — oil burning or misfires if not maintained properly.
Suspension and mounts wear faster due to weight; replacements are expensive.
Low resale — not many buyers for a thirsty V6, so you’ll have to love it enough to keep it.
Big car in tight cities — parking and ground clearance can be annoying.
Insurance and taxes higher due to engine size (>3L category).
Heat management — some owners complain about heat soak in slow traffic; check radiator and fan condition.
I run Yokohama V701 225/45 R18 and I'm really happy with them.
my only all seasons ever were Yokohama Geolandar G015. They were ok for about two years, but then the compound began to harden and I had to switch. They were decent on snow and water, but sucked on ice.
Did a bunch of research and ended up with Yokohama avid ascend GT. Reviews were good, dry and wet performance were all great, I only saw some negatives about wear being quicker and 1 Reddit comment about how bad it handed.
That Reddit comment was right. On center it was the most vague I could turn the steering wheel a few inches and feel nothing. It felt like it was drifting at times as if it were gusting.
