Great tires at a great price (in my opinion). Have had them on for about 1,000 miles so far. They feel great on my car when it comes to anything really. I transitioned from Good year Assurance tires and these definitely feel like an upgrade. Grips the streets fairly well on hard turns and when speeding. Have not driven during rain or winter so I can't speak on that. Another thing, my hybrid has not experienced much difference in mpg since I had these installed. Still get good mpg probably some miles less than it would with an LRR tire.

So far I love these tires. They handle all conditions well thus far. Lots of rain, ice and snow where I live. Time will tell how they hold up tread wise on my awd Sienna.

These tires grip in rain and snow better than any tire I've ever owned. No worries whatsoever when driving in bad weather conditions.
They have a little more tread noise on dry pavement but ride smoother than the previous set of Cooper tires that I had on my 04 Bonneville SLE.
Overall I rate them a solid 4 out of 5 and if I get as many miles out of these Yokohama tires as I did with the Cooper tires I'd go to a 4.5 out of 5.

I have about 2000 miles on these tires and absolutely love them. Superior ride and handling especially in wet weather, best tires for wet roads I have ever had. We had a slushy snow recently and they were very good in that as well, can't say about snow accumulations of more than 2 inches as have not seen that yet.
Well worth the $$!!
If you are familiar with THE TIRE RACK they tested these tires against Continental, Michelin, and a Goodyear.
They said the YOKOHAMA AVID ASCEND G/T "has set a new standard for wet weather handling and traction."

Very nice for the price. Several online places have rated these near the top, especially for the money. Much better grip and less noise than my factory tires. Time will tell as far as wear, but I expect them to last at least 50k
