Replacement tyres

[T1 Terry]

Just an update on the Yokohama Advan Sports V107's fitted recently.

I do not do any extreme driving but do like to take corners at speed which are safely within the capability of the vehicle, leaving some reserve.

The grip cornering and braking seem to be slightly superior to the original Bridgestones.
The road noise is just a tad louder, but this could be my imagination. Reviews did say the V108 EV are quieter than the V107.
Economy also seems slightly better, but have not done any data. The energy level seems slightly less than it did for similar trips before, but once again could be imagination.
Have not had the chance to try them in real wet conditions yet, just light rain which does not really test the drainage.
Wear is yet to be seen, as the Yoko's have deeper tread then the Bridgestones and the majority of their use was by the original owner.

So far the Yoko's seem very good.

Thank you for the warning, the wife already knows the break away point for the Bridgestones, just past the point where my knuckles start to fail as I bury my fingernails into the dash .....

Still living life on the edge, it's just on the edge of requiring clean undies and being the first one at the scene of the accident ..... but wouldn't trade her for the world, kissed a lot of trolls before I found my princess ..... just hoping not to go out the way Dianna did .... but in an MG instead of a Mercedes ......
