Tire: Yokohama Envigor

[thelazydogsback]

Replaced OEM Bridestones @ about 40K w/hardly any tread left. After about a month of use on dry and wet (and one day of minor snow) use in Seattle (including some flood condition days) I can highly recommend these. Dig into the water well, and great general handling -- seem to "roll over" less than the Bridgstones on corners - maybe stiffer sidewalls? (Also about 20% cheaper.)

Performed a last-minute emergency manouver yesterday, and the car seemed like it was on rails.

Could be a little louder, but hard to tell - but if so, not by much.

[RX400h]

While taking the number 2 spot (Parada Spec-X is the top choice among the Tirerack folks to whom I spoke and users of these two types of tires)among the Yokohama high-performance all-season tires for the RX400h, the Invigors appear to be good alternative tires for those who want to spend a bit less and who value treadwear over all-weather ability.

According to the people who are using these tires, the Paradas perform better on dry, snowy, and icy surfaces but without a doubt, the Invigors are pleasing many of their owners as well.
