Andrew, they`re probly the best wet weather road tyre avaliable anywhere

They were actually produced for wet weather racing in england

Yokohama won`t actually bring them into Aust because of warrantee issues with our weather being so hot, & they feel that these tyres are not suted,,,but for the average road user & the occasional club racer, well i donb`t reckon you could find a better tyre

stick like sh!t to a blanket , wet or dry

hot tyre, just expensive,,,but hey? it`s just a case of you "DO" actually get what you pay for, simple as that!!!

I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the tread looks so simple though...in comparison to most road tyres you see out there which have complex patterns...even formula 1 wet-weather tyres have relatively complex tread patterns...is it the tread pattern that makes these good or the rubber the tyres are actually made of? i am guessing it is the latter...

you`ll find that it`s a combination of both,,,dam good tread pattern to disipate the wet sh!t & also the super sticky compound helps to heat up the black sh!t so it sticks like glue

it`s all simple 2 fold physics really

:-)

Now i sound like i know what i`m laking about hey?
