A lot of people tend to forget this and expect them to be faultless straight after fitting.

That's part of the reason why I'm in a hurry to get mine changed. I want to have put a couple of hundred miles on them before the weather turns really nasty.

It might be bad up there in the frozen North but it's still quite pleasant down here in the Shandy drinking shires. OK not exactly pleasant but more grey and moody than actually raining, even had the roof down at 7.30 this morning.

Had the Yokohamas on for a day and have to say there's one immediate improvement which is the ride seems to be better. Not sure how but it's not as jittery. I'm beginning to think the old tyres were even worse than I thought.

Back with front wheel drive and 181HP at the wheels :)

Once you've done a few thousand miles I'd appreciate an update on how these tyres are performing.:)

Will do. I'm on hols for a week, without the car - hard to fit three of us in :) but once I'm back I'll be racking up the miles.

You're just not trying hard enough :)

Would like to hear long term views on Yokos. It's not a tyre I have heard much of on the F/TFs.
