Yokohama S-Drives

So I just ordered me some S-Drives. Never had them or rode with anyone who has em. But the rating is off the charts for a cheaper tire.

So question being, who's all had experience with em, and are they the good choice for me? If it helps, its my DD, I do occasional AutoX and occasional cruises through our mointain passes. Love sticky tires, but need somethin with good tread wear. These seemed like the best choice....

I have them on my FD, they're a little noisy but other than that you'll love them.

Going from bridgestone re-050a pole positions to s-drives, I really dislike them. Much harsher ride, much louder, less dry grip, less wet grip. Very unhappy with the tires, but they fit the budget .

Haha, well I know there are alot of choices, and many between the S-Drives and the RE050s. I mean the Yokos are $300 dollars cheaper for all four. So sacrificing a little performance to save alot of green will be worth it. Cause I can't ever see myself buying tires that are more than $200 a piece unless they're track tires. I was seeing if there is a tire around the same price range, that's better than the S-Drives (ex. Falken FK452, BF G-Force SuperSport, Dunlop SP SportMaxx, etc)
