Opinions on Yokohama S Drive tires?

Anyone care to share experience? The price seems right.

Absolutely love them. Quiet, smother ride, and better traction then the run-craps.

Not really all that quiet, IMO, but hey, I have a vert. Definitely a smoother ride, definitely better traction, MUCH better wet performance, excellent value.

Anyone taken these to the track yet, and have opinions on pushing the tires to their limits?

How would compare the noise level to the stock runflats?

After reading up, I'm going to order a set for my 128! Thanks to the exchange rate, it's going to be cheaper to order from Tire Rack and ship to Canada than to buy them here.

I am doing the exact same thing. Checked local stores and other Canadian outlets. Nothing beats TireRacks pricing even with shipping and brokerage fees. I wish TireRack had a depot in Canada, we would get an even better deal.

What kind of duties and brokerage fees would you guys expect, any idea? Anyone who's ordered already from Canada?

Go to TireRack.com when you add the items to your cart and punch in your postal code it will give yo a grand total showing all additional fees.
