Yokohama S.Drive Worth the money?

[DaCrazyOne]

Are these worth the money or are their any better for all round use. I did have some on the front but seems as tho in wet my front where spinning for the fun of it and in snow where even worse for grip. Maybe tread was ran down on them and needed changing as I have some on the back still and has a lo to go before changing. I had them since getting car and was on it when I got it.

I have found a place that does them for £49.78 each for 195/45 R15 W (78)

Or £62.98 for fitting each

So without fitting total cost including shipping £199.12
And with fitting total cost including shipping £251.92

So braking that down their charging £13.20 per tire or total cot for fitting is £52.80

Can you get tires fitted for cheaper just taking them to local tire place and saying want these fitting to me rims etc.

£5 each for tyre fitting by me.

I rate them highly, I currently have them on my trackcar and they are really good in both the wet and the dry.

I've got a full st at the moment, they were on the wheels when I bought them. the back ones are knackered (I guess they were the fronts), but the front 2 have loads of tread.

I've found them to be brilliant in the dry, but shocking when its wet.

Shocking in what way, grip, handling good or bad?

I always ran S.Drives on my Saxo and thought they were fantastic. Highly recommended.

Thought as much me self when seen the prices on them think gonna buy the tires and then just get local place fit them as said will change all 4 for £15. Just needed sometime to locate a good place but these coming after due to now having to put in for gearbox rebuild not looking forward to it but going uprated bearings and few other bits on it and changed and uprated clutch kit too.

Illl use be pram wheels if I have to until get gearbox done lol

Few people on car facebook groups have been talking about www.oponeo.co.uk, cheap tyres but dont have a huge range in each size.
