opinions on factory fitted 18" yokohamas

[glenn l]

as title says if you have the 18" yokohama s221 tyres whats your opinion on them. are they noisey what do they grip like. i need new tyres soon and the factory bridgestone re050's a pretty dear. any input to the yokos would be helpful.

IMHO Yokohama are great, I have a VZ SS, a WM Caprice, a '65 corvette and my son has a VZ SS Ute all on Yokohama.
S drive, Advan or Neova all do a great job, Tire Rack in the US do great deals, just keep the total order under $AU 1000, (so them buy in pairs) about 14 days delivery, I pay $15 to have a tyre fitted here.
