Yoko Earth 1 is good. Been using it for 2 years now.
Noticeably less road noise compared to Apollo.
Yoko earth 1 for the win. Such a great product but I have read mixed reviews where people complain about the road noise. I myself have them installed and have travelled around 30k km on them. Happy customer so far.
Yokohama any day, I had a small accident just 2 days after getting them installed, the side wall bursted on impact, was travelling to another city while it happened
Even in the other city took it to a dealer, he replaced it on spot without any questions
If you’re gonna go to discount, I run the Yokohamas on just about everything. The yk gtx is really good, I live in DFW area. Had those on for all the “snow storms” we’ve had and no issues. They also do great in the rain.
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
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.
My initial impression of the Vredesteins was, "Holy cow, the rear end is going to swap places with the front." The car wagged and bobbed all over the road. It was scary. After a short 5-mile drive home, I adjusted the tire pressure to 41 psi in the rear (they were at 40 and 45 left/right) and drove around a bit more to break in the tires. Once broken in, they drove much better.
Going straight they're fine and don't notice too much difference between the old EP500s and the new Vredesteins. Maybe the ride is slightly better due to the Vredesteins’ softer sidewall. Noise is about the same—they’re quiet tires.
We get a lot of rain here, and the Vredesteins are great in the wet. They’re better than the stock EP500s, likely due to their less aggressive tread pattern and greater tread depth.
However, corners are where it all falls apart. The initial turn-in is great because the front EP500s, despite their poor tire life, handle well. But there’s a slight delay as the rear wobbles into the corner. You can feel the car load up, and you have to counter-steer slightly to keep the car in line as the rear flops over. While the Vredesteins have good grip, the side/slip angle is so large during aggressive driving that the traction control freaks out in fast corners. When you straighten out, the rear flops back and wobbles a bit.
My wife texted me on her way to work this morning, saying, "The car is wiggling so much I think I might throw up."
Any type of turning has the rear bobbling and wagging around. Bumps in the road will also cause it to bounce around. It's just not a pleasant experience whatsoever.
After driving on them for a while, I’m considering whether running Vredesteins on the front as well might correct some of the handling issues.
