GoodYear or Yokohama?

[sundarpn]

I got 2 yoko avid v4s. Discount tire matched tire rack price + shipping.

Good over all, but have a feeling that they are wearing faster than expected.... I am told v rated tires wear faster.

Time to change the other two now. I am just going to go with the Yoko H4S. My 2002 camry XLE 4 banger doesn't need V rated tires.

H4S is still 84 per tire and adding shipping almost 104 per tire. ouch!

I didn't have this problem with yokohama. Balance was good right away. -1 for GoodYear. O well, that reduce my 80K down to 50K even with Yokohama. lol

2 sets, they intially kept trying to balance and rebalance the first set I bought as a complete wheel and tire package from them.

Eventually, I had them swap all of the wheels and the tires. It could have been the wheels but I doubt it. Each time one of the shops would test the balance, they would tell me that the other shop f*cked up and remove all the weights and apply new ones.

So GoodYear is a No-Go then? Just another POS?

Just think your 80K reduce to 50K.

European way of balancing tires.

I'm guessing this is how most American wheels got balanced.
