Yokohama S480 Winter

Store/Site purchased: Willys Tires

Initial product impressions, quality: (size 225/50/15) I actually 'special' ordered this set brand new through my tire shop, as they are a discontinued winter tire. I was looking for an aggressive thread pattern, but something that wouldn't burn the rubber to quick as I do a lot of highway driving in the winter. Very good traction in snow and ice. Not so great in rain, but they are winter tires, not all season. A little noisy but you get used to it. I paid a total of $400 for the set (cost). If you can get your hands on a set of these, I recommend them.

If not self installed, cost of installation: self installed, but would cost you $60 to mount and ballance at my shop.
