Default tire questions

I notice that alot of you guys like the falken azenis and others, but I never see anyone compliment the yokohama a520's. Are these good tires or just overrated?

I am not sure about your tires...... http://www.tirerack.com had user ratings of the tires that they have bought however, it is all just there opinion of their new tires compaired to there old bald ones.

I.E. I purchased some tires and they are decent for daily driving (purpose of getting them). However, they sure as hell are not the 8.1 traction rating that the website says they are.

Nevermind, I guess I should ahve just asked, what are the tires for, daily?

I have the a520 for daily use..they are fine IMO. They make a bit of noise after you put some mileage on them but no big deal.

I think I have about 4,000 miles on my yoko a520's now and looking to replace them. Any place cheaper to buy them than for $125 a piece online
