Anyone running Yokohama S-Drive tires?

DG20 · 04-08-2017, 03:44 PM

Hey guys, I just got some new 20" rims and I needed some help picking out tires. The rims are 8" front and 8.5" rears and the recommended tire sizes are:

225/35/20 front
255/30/20 rear

Tire options are pretty limited for these specs. I would go for MPSS, but I don't know if I'm going to be keeping the rims for a long time and I don't want to spend $1100 on tires for that reason. From what I hear, the Pirelli PZERO runflats suck and are very noisy.

I did see that there are some Yokohama S-Drive tires in the sizes I need.
Is anyone here running that tire?

Thanks!

Is your car RWD or xDrive?

If you dont have xDrive you can also look for a 245/255 setup, either 245/30-20 front and 255/30-20 rear or better 245/35-20 front and 255/35-20 rear.

The 35-profile tires give you slightly more sidewall which will help to improve both comfort and wheel protection on your 20" setup.

I just installed them on my rear wheel driver about 2,000 miles ago. Love the look of the tire and went to a 245 setup from my OEM 225 setup on my OEM 18" rims.
