Has anyone had any experience with these tyres? They are relatively new,

and are the first of the Drive range from Yokohama. I loved the 539s and,

but since Yokohama are phasing them out, these C.Drive's are apparently

the replacement.

Yokohama’s latest technologies converge in the C.drive tyre to provide true driving confidence. Higher levels of grip come from a new micro flexible silica tread compound. Four wide straight grooves provide stronger wet weather performance and anti-aquaplaning properties. A clever variation in tread block stiffness and design provides the perfect balance between cornering and braking performance. A staggered block design and 5 pitch variation theme has been applied to reduce road noise levels in both new and worn tyre conditions. The C.drive is a worthy successor the award winning A539.

Eugene, I think you'll find there are much better tyres out there for the money then the yokohamas. Have a shop around and try and get your butt in a few 'lines that have something similiar fitted. I use Federal's for everyday stuff and Dunlop semi slick track days tyres......both very nice to drive with.

    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.

    • Isn't there a PAR engineering gearset that has closer to stock ratios? And they claim they'll do whatever ratios you want.
