Reviews of YOKOHAMA tires

I just purchased new Yokohama @ $230 each. I didn't notice a difference in sound and still getting the same 3.2 kwh as OEM Dunlops. With 11/32 depth, my Ariya handles better with the Yokohamas.

That 3.5L V6 is buttery smooth and powerful — proper sleeper sedan feel.

Cabin’s still super comfy, feels premium even today.

Reliable engine if maintained right, and new Yokohamas are a good sign someone cared.

You’ll definitely stand out — not many V6s left running around.

It drinks fuel like crazy. Expect 5–6 km/l in city, maybe 9 on highways if you drive easy.

Honda never sold too many V6s, so some parts can be pricey or take time to source.

The timing belt change is expensive (₹50–70k job with labour and water pump).

Regular service at a good garage will be around ₹15–20k; authorised service centers will charge more.

VCM (cylinder deactivation) can act up — oil burning or misfires if not maintained properly.

Suspension and mounts wear faster due to weight; replacements are expensive.

Low resale — not many buyers for a thirsty V6, so you’ll have to love it enough to keep it.

Big car in tight cities — parking and ground clearance can be annoying.

Insurance and taxes higher due to engine size (>3L category).

Heat management — some owners complain about heat soak in slow traffic; check radiator and fan condition.

I run Yokohama V701 225/45 R18 and I'm really happy with them.

My wife did a set of AD09s in under 1500 miles on the back of our 250bhp Elise Cup. They work but they really do wear.

Yokohama (wag blue earth madali magkabukol pag nalubak)

I had the Yokohama Bluearth es32 for 5 years. Grabe mag chipping yan so take that into account. It's a known issue with how the model is manufactured.

The es32 is a good tyre, good performance, talagang chipping lang nakaka dismaya. (tyres are regularly checked, car wheel is well aligned, rotated every 6 mos)

My first mini had about 3 degrees and would get about 5k miles out of a pair of front tyres. That was with yokohama A008s all round.

Advan Fleva goods na yan.

Yokohama may bukol issues yun.

Would choose Yokahama any day, Used on Figo. Great Grip on curves even on wet road, Comfort and bit noisy on cement road, Amazing in villages/off roads.
