   Has anyone got these fitted with 195/45/R15 diameter on at all?
   
   Was just having a look at purchasing a set of 4 as they are yokohama's latest performance tyres.
   
   If anyone has any info on these would be appreciated..

   Yea it was going to be a toss up between goodyear eagle f1's & dunlop SP900.
   
   However i've had an exceptional price on these and just wondered if there any good, the reviews seem ok but they are straight from the Yokohama website, was looking for someone on here who maybe had them.

   from what i know the s-drives are supposed to replace the A539's (which were a VERY good dry tyre) but the wear rate on them used to be rather dissapointing, still you cant have everything when it comes to rubber
   
   but i havent driven on s-drives, im guessing some more reviews will be out soon

   Yea i know they do the c. drive & a. drive so assume these are one up.
   
   They have a new tread which gives even wear so they dont start going bold on the corners.
   
   Just was hoping that a review comes up soon where they check grip in wet/dry/snow etc.
   
   Ta anyway mate
