Question:

Yokohama YK520 tires for 06 Mazda5? ?

Has anyone bought these tires for their Mazda5? I need all four tires replaced and these seem like a really good buy.

Answer:

Toyo's are actually very good tires. I have an '07 3 with 20k on its Toyo's. You may want to just go with a higher grade of Toyo however the best tire you can buy is a Michelin. Good Years are not at the quality that they used to be when they were made in the states, they are now made in Mexico. I would price out Toyo and Michelin. 12/5/07 After I left that comment I noticed my tires are almost worn out aswell. I asked my boyfriend (works at a tire shop) about it and he said that since they are speed rated tires they will wear out much faster. You probably have the same thing. Good luck.
we dont have a mazda5, but we do have 2 99 millenias, both with the yk520's(215/50 17) on them. the yk520 is made by yokohama for discount tire. previous tires were bf goodrich traction ta's, dunlops, goodyear, and i forget the rest. i had bought a set of 17 rims with yokohama yk420's, and even tho they were more than half worn, i was impressed at how much quieter they were, and they also had a much better ride than the traction ta's. when they wore out, i bought the first set of yk520's. they were as good or better than the 420's, and they have a longer warranty. so far, both cars have gone more than 2 years on the tires, and we are very pleased with them. i would get another set in a heartbeat. another plus is the excellent service from discount tire.
