Default Yokohama S-Drive

Well I have to get new tires after a year of having my old ones.

I had the Falken 452

but they are horrible, after 24000 miles they fell apart

I am getting Yokohama S-Drive Tires now.

Any one know anything about them? and how good they are?

I am getting

285/30/20 - Rear
245/35/20 - Front

All installed for $816? Good price also?

Getting 24,000 miles out of your Falkens is pretty good actually. Most people get less than that with similar tires like the Toyo T1R. The S. Drive isn't rated very highly, so I'd go with something else.

s.drives are decent budget tires. i don't have personal experience with them but they came in second in grassroots motorsports budget tire comparo. and 816 sounds pretty cheap for 20"!

If you like Yokohama tires look at the ADVAN Neova AD07.

i doubt the neova ad07 will last 24k miles... and they'll be more expensive.
ad08's are coming out soon too.

If tread life is a primary concern look at Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2.

well tread life and price are a concern

i mean if i have to pay an extra 700 to get an additional 10000 miles than its not worth it ya know?

but over all those tires arent bad?

better than the falkens?
