I did a search on tyres and while Yokohamas were mentioned in several threads there didn't seem to be an opinion on whether they were any good.

i need 4 new tyres and I was going to stick with the Wranglers (which come in at around the £660 mark). Quoted a lot less for the Yokos (I think the YK 520s but I need to confirm). They have good reviews?

Any opinions? Anyone fitted Yokohamas. (If I missed that thread please point me in the right direction)

Thanks.

Actually, I'll update that - I think they'll be Yokohama GO51!

I'm no expert on tyres, but Yokohamas are seen as a good well respected tyre in most circles. ( no pun intended )

Hi Rangerider,

I'm assuming you have HSE 18" wheels and if you look at Duckworths site under special offers you can get 4x 18" genuine alloys with tyres (235/60/18 ) for £550. Use the tyres...and sell the alloys on fleabay!

Talking of face, I was reading the saga about your tooth! Boy, you can sure tell a story. I liked the photo of the spilt tooth on a book of 2nd class stamps. Was that art and meant to signify that you feel like a 2nd Class Citizen? This forum just gets better, none of the Disco3 forum crap on here.

Remember reading a pretty extensive test of SUV tyres in a Auto Express latter end of last year. Wranglers and Conti's faired best based on all the tests - dry & wet handling, braking etc plus noise levels. I seem to recall that Yokohamas came second from bottom of about 8 brands tested. Guess it's a case of what your expectations are and what you want to pay. Reading various reports and having used numerous makes over the years, I guess all I can add is - you don't get very good tyres at budget prices. OR do you other forum members know better?
