Thats what I was thinking. The two fronts I got were $45 each and a little for disposal or so.

Cost me $110 for two fronts with a 30K mile warranty. Well 15K later they are JUNK.

So what the hey...

I have the Yok YK420's for my rear tires. Got them from Discount Tire for $120 a piece plus $15 for the "warranty".

They came in yesterday... whoa that was quick...

One reviewer says they are a heavy tire. Not sure what tires are supposed to weigh, but I can see/understand these to be the 25 Lbs+ as tire rack has them listed. They are heavy...

won't matter a lot for a family car, but for sportcars, you want less rotating mass.. the heavier the rim and tire, the harder it is to stop the car at speed.
affects handling and braking both.

Well what can I say about the tires that were on there before?

They were cheap for in store price, 50 each I think- the cheapest they had. 30K warranty... They were bald on the edges...lol

Im not sure for how long my car had a vibration like a bad bearing or something or off balance tire.

Basicly a cheap ass tire.

I got these yoko's installed tonight... OMG...

The car rides nice, real quiet and SMOOTH. Responsive... Im liking it already...
