Yokohama W* Drive

Got a set of Yokohama W* Drive Winter tires yesterday....cost me around 900 installed. I tested them out in an unplowed neighborhood, they make a HUGE difference, these are my first winter tires so I wasnt quite sure what to expect out of them. Anyone else use these tires?

Iv got the same ones! They are friking awesome! Much better than i expected they would be, in the snow that is, they dont like dry pavement and boost though. LOL traction control.

Yeah theyre not the same as the stock tires on dry pavement for sure. Last week was a LONG week driving around with those stock tires...really bad on snow or ice. So now, after spending lots on these, the BOV is on hold til maybe february. BOOO.

Yeah the stockers are definite no go in the winter. Mine didnt cost nearly as much as you paid. I paid 744 otd (shipped and mounted). The reason i didnt pay as much is Discount Tire matched the price of a set of Pirelli 240 wintersports that i orginaly wanted but they couldnt for some reason get in. According to the guy the Yokohama W drives are actually a better winter tire.

So Discount Tire owes me $115?? :2b1a0ffc:

Did you buy the service plan too? That cost me an extra $100.

The Discount service plan has saved me in the past, I would get it.

I did the math and the price of the service plan was the same as the cost of 1 tire. I figured I would pay out of
pocket when it happened instead of the extra coin out the door.

I like to pay out of my ass instead of out of my pocket.

Is it time to put my summer tires back on yet?

Putting summer tires back on in the middle of the winter is about the same as washing your car in the summer- it'll guarantee that it will rain/snow the next day.

So yeah, put them on. I love snow.

The discount plan is definitely worth it. I've never had to buy a new tire unless it was due to wear thanks to the service plan.

Yeah i always get the plan...it always helps out in the long run. I seem to run over every nail or screw near my car.

I put Hankook IceBear W300 225/40/18 on mine the 2nd day I had it. Think they cost me 725$

BTW have stock tires with 150miles on them for sale.
