Old tyres do not generate good grip, and with Yokohama tyres in particular, the rubber goes very "hard" and loses grip.

You will be amazed at the difference in handling, grip and comfort they will give you.


Thanks for the hint! I remember checking the DOT and it was still okay even though I cant remember exactly when.. But as Iam at ~34.000 miles I figure the original tires have long gone anyway. wink
