What do you plan on doing with your car? Auto-X? Getting Groceries?

go with the yoks $3 more and they will last longer since this is your dd. Make sure you pick the one with a better wet traction rating.

thats what im thinkin, its just astounds me how people can be so ignorant about stuff like this

ive been reading reviews and people are talking about how they replaced there old tires with the yoks and and have hated them, then others have absolutely loved them. then i read on, and the people who hated them pretty much expect them to be the best tires ever, for under 100 a piece.
i dont think they will be too bad. the two replacement toyos i have for th whats onthe car now, cost 167 each, and i had to buy two.

my brother bought the Nitto Neogen. The handling/traction was actually pretty decent. Held very nicely around sweeping, and some sharp, turns.
