Good info good to know the PS2's are 4th that is what i will run. I bet they would have ranked higher if the price was lower like what i pay for them. Just a quick not on treadwear #'s tire companies can pretty much do what they want here the gouverment does not test these results. Most are pretty reliable though.

Does anyone know anything about the new Yokohama S.Drive, if we go on the "you get what you pay for" mind set, they must not be so good
245/35ZR20=$150ea
275/30ZR20=$170ea
Maybe a good drift tire?

never knew 20's were good for drifting..shouldnt the tire sizes be like 245/40/20f and 275/35/20r, specs for the g37. never heard of yokohama tires before, its probably true with this one. get some falkens 452's. around 600-700 a set.

Yeah 20” probably would not be good for drifting. I only used that size as reference because that is what Sharif recommends for the 20” I’m waiting on now. The drifting comment was based solely on how low price is, it seems like they would burn tires up quick and inexpensive tires would be good for at least learning until you got your tire sponsor. I have no idea what is used for drifting. I know Yokohama has been a top off road racing tire for quite some time, not sure how long they have been in the road scene.
