Tires YOKOHAMA or Uniroyal
I have a set of Yokohama S drives on my Swift 2005. They are serving me well, good dry as well as wet grip.
Tengo cuatro Yoko en mí Focus, aunque en rodado 17". Pero antes en el Fiesta tuve dos juegos de Yokohama, así que puedo decirte con seguridad que son excelentes cubiertas.
Lo vas a notar sobre todo en piso mojado...
Muy buenas , tuve 4 en otro auto y le hice algo de 78.000 km , las cambie porque se habían resecado, pero todavía estaban 1mm más o menos arriba de la marca .
Tengo los ES BluEarth y son la mejor compra q le hice al auto
Yes uniroyal makes a damn good tire. They are decent on the wallet. And deliver on their promises.
I put a new set of Uniroyal Rainsport 5's on my car in 2023, then drove 2100 miles to Germany and back over a 2 week period, including maxing out my car to 131mph and they are still on the car now after about 18k miles on them. They still have around 2 years of life in them.
I really liked the Yokohama Advan’s for the money and the Continental extreme Contacts for their rain grooves and their performance exceeds a Ps4s (on my car anyway)
The main thing I didn't like about the A052 is the soft sidewall and overall life. I think it's probably the stickiest 200tw tire, better suited for lighter cars, but for my heavy ass Camaro I chewed through the a052 in half the time of RE71r, mostly because I was driving them wrong. I tend to push a little past the grip level from the front on corner entry, it wasn't too big and issue with the RE71r with the stiff sidewall and stiffer compound, but driving like that with the a052 which feels incredibly soft and gummy, I shredded through the shoulders of the tread quick, even with -3.3 front camber.
I've got a set of Yokohama tires I use for the summer. Very little wear on them, they've seen about 15,000 km total use, not cracked or dry rotted, stored indoors over the winter. They are however from 2016. This year I started hearing a whine in the front end, sounded a bit like a wheel bearing. On freshly laid asphalt it's silent or nearly so. On older pavement it's louder. On the highway in rain, it got REALLY loud, and I could feel a hum in the pedal. Like, loud enough I slowed to about 80kph as I was worried something was going to let go on the car. Pavement went dry? Went back to the normal "bearing" noise. Theres no shaking or balance issues, they drive true and straight, it's just this noise. Car is a 2011 santa fe, in Canada. I bought the tires new in 2016.
Not only do the sidewalls flex at highway speed when you do a lane change, they track all over the place and feel skittish. I had my front end (Prius V) checked out by a shop that I trust, and they drove it on the highway. They agree that there is an instability with this tire.
