I bought the Yokohamas last July at 179,XXX miles last July and just found out they only have a 65,000 mile warranty for the V rated tires. Call Honda and told them where I was mileage wise and the Service Mgr chuckled and said you guys might get to 100,000 miles on this set. Never expected them to go this long. Been a big fan of Yokohama since I can remember. Currently almost at 268,xxx. Lots of tire rotation, nitrogen and no gravel,peeling out or over 100mph,no tire shine either.

89,000 miles in 1 year?

1) VG+, Congrats. However well the tires were made, you deserve a nod.
I'm with rotation, no grinding off rubber or slamming the tread into the road, but what did the nitrogen contribute?

2) A fellow at a Canadian tidal bore had a Honda, the tires of which were replaced "early"-at 80K- before Summer's long driving.
It seems they know how to make good ones.

3) Oh, the OE Michelin MX4Vplus tires on a friend's AccordV6 lasted 100K.

4) Why can't tire companies cut the bovex and just offer tires for concomitant money?

I don't know if the nitrogen helps, but it sure doesn't hurt that I am certain. My TPMS never comes on, yet on the other car with air it does during extreme weather. I am still just excited that they have got me as far as they have.

Let’s see some pics of the tires themselves

How much tread is left? Can you make it to Black Friday?

I will try and show soon. I am sure they are probably at 4/32 or 5. Yokohama has this new orange oil that they put inside their tires that is supposedly makes them last longer. I need also to change out at the very least my front struts. wish I will probably do before 300,000 with either Monroe or KYB whichever ones I can get locally.

okay so they are lower than I expected but nothing drastic I probably will get them changed probably the next 10,000 miles. probably ease up on them luckily we're in a heat spell.
