They are also the most quiet tire I have ever had on a car!
I highly recommend them if you are looking for a great A/S tire! Thanks for the input everyone!
My neighbor has them on his car. Got stuck n 3-4 inches here in our cul-de-sac.
However, after such amazing performance on your old tires, why you just did not go with tires you had before? Or you think these will take you up Raton Pass through 3f of snow?
My factory tires are discontinued. I drove a Z28 through 8 Colorado winters and NEVER got stuck or slid. No one with half a brain gets stuck in 3-4" of snow. Maybe my 38 years of driving in snow has helped me learn to drive better then most in winter conditions.
Anyway there are many reviews of the YK580s from other owners doing great in snow and ice.
Oh, here we go again with argument where surface and tires recognize driving experience and adjust accordingly.
I am just wondering where you found 8" of snow in Denver in last week considering I am driving car with open panoramic roof and windows since last Saturday.
I was skiing Monday and Wednesday and road was actually DRY on Loveland Pass, not to mention Denver.
