I'm running those Yoks now, 235/40/18s up front and 295s out back. Why not stock size 225/40? Because they're 831 revs per mile, same as those 295s out back. The bigger 235s are 820 revs per mile, so a little taller (and a lot wider).

Coming from the Falken FK453s which were on the car when I bought it 2 years ago, these Yoks are impressive. The Falkens were good when they were fresh, but after 5000 not so easy miles they must have hardened and they went away. I'll be happy with 7-8K out of these Yoks, which is about 2 years for me.

I must have close to 800 miles on the Yoks, and after a gentle 150 mile scrub in they stick very well in the canyons and coastal roads of Northern California. I have read they aren't good below 40 degrees or so, but it really doesn't get that cold here very often.
