Yokahama S. Drives?

I'm thinking of picking up a new set. 245/40's for my new 17x9 rims. I've never really heard anyone speak of these tires, just RE-01 or PS2's. Any good or bad expirences? I need a good tire that won't break the bank.


Or the Hankook Ventus Evo K110?

I talked to TireRack and asked them to compare those to the RE760 and he said RE760 no question. He said the S.drives are geared more toward comfort than performance

For the price they're set at maybe try the s-03s?

I've run the S-03. They are good tires. I've been happy with the 760s, but will probably go with S-04s here in a few months.

There are better tires for the price. What is your driving style and what do you do with the car (any type of competitive driving?)?

Eric.. s-drives are good tires but like the above stated they are geared more for comfort and wear then for grip.. BS tires are good but out of my experience they don't last..**** my brother all he runs is BS tires.. what are you looking to get out of the tires.

a tire you want to look into would be cooper zeon rs3-a or s depending on what you are doing with the tires.. s is better for performance.. the a is a great all season tire that got better rating then the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S.. either tire i think would be great.
