Many have recommend me to get PP2 though as the grip is better than RE001 or S Drive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspri Clutched January 2, 2009 Share January 2, 2009 Hello all LIke to find out has anyone driven Yoko S Drive. Love to hear ya opinion. I am on 215/50/R17 Using them now. I think the grip level is good. The noise level is acceptable (definitely better than Good Year F1 and RevSpec and Bridgestone G3) but if you come from using quiet comfort tyres, it may sound like a racket. The tread pattern's good and the sidewall is fairly good looking. I'm happy. I think I bought for 200 bucks per piece. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toalson 1st Gear January 31, 2009 Share January 31, 2009 Oh I see cos many shops told me the same thing if compared with LS3000 or LS2000. Many have recommend me to get PP2 though as the grip is better than RE001 or S Drive. Oic, if PP2 is better than might consider this as well. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
