Experiences with Yokohama Advan Sports

In case anyone was wondering about these tires on the m5, I have been running them for a month now, stock staggered set-up with a 39/44 psi setting.

I really like these tires. Low noise, good firm ride and feel like the potenza 950s as traction breaks away. Even had 2 days of rain during which the traction was much better than i expected. Also they dont track the grooved pavement.

I was looking to give them a go this changeover. Total cost for all paws would be about 1/2 the cost of pirelli or PS2.
Good to hear that you are happy with them teej.

Any updates on THIS SPECIFIC TIRE MODEL?

I need to replace the PS2s (Skeptical on the MO version with 275s up front)
