I want to get new wheels while I'm at it... may have to put them on and hope my girlfriend doesn't notice...


What yokohamas they make really bad tires and really good tires.. just like all major tire manufacturers

How many miles do they have?

Still new... a little over 500 miles. BUT This is the second set of these on the Explorer. The last ones I just replaced had 60k miles on them and still had 5-6/32. Nice even wear on them too. Supposedly they changed them a little bit with the new ones. They made them quieter with better wet/snow traction, but should last just as long. So far so good!

A friend of mine had these and complained the tread wore out too quickly. He said otherwise they were good tires.
