Yokohama AVS Winter RPB 205/55/15 88H - experience

[Don.Hasi]

Hi there,

want only tell a short story. I´m now driving these tyres for one week within partly horrible weatherconditions and i´m feeling fine with the tyres.



If you go to the Yoko-Hp (i have only the german site http://www.yokohama.de/wys/yoko_wys5.nsf/WYSFrameset1?Readform&JScript=1&) you could see the awards of the tyre too.

Costs about 102 Euro including old wheels off, new mounted and balanced.

The are very precise, strong from their underbody, and quiet. The only noise you will hear is when the roadsurface is completely wet and you are driving through a puddle, than you can hear a little bit like a supercharger But it is a very very quite one....

The only thing I now missed is a road with new fallen snow on it... If there will be a change to my experiences I will post it again, but I think there will be no change.

I´m now driven 900km with greasy circumstances and the tyre managed it all and they make Ina II look very beautiful



So for now:

Hi g,

interesting to read your experiences. And yes, have had the same one greasy situation too. But a little bit are the profiles different...

Whatever, they run good


So, I can state the last impression:

We got a completly snowcovered road yesterday.



I must say, they are brilliant. Acceleration good, Braking very good. So you have super information about the roadcircumstances: The force/strength you call from the enginebay for acceleration where you starting to get wheelspin is in the opposite when braking in the same powerful way not enough to slide with it.

Means you have a little bit reserves in braking situations cause you are able to brake better than accelerate and both on a high level, better than every car around

This give you a sure and comfortable cruising with a clear conscience concerning the grip through the snow.

=> Highly recommended
