Tires YOKOHAMA or Achilles

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.

Advan Fleva goods na yan.

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.

Have yokohama earth1 on my i20, been like ~50k kms and still have enough tread for about 10k kms

So personally can vouch for it, no noise, good comfort and enough grip in it for me to take turns at 70kmph with confidence during rains.

Nekem a Yokohama BluEarth 4S AW21 bevált. Lassan 2 éves, 20+ ezer kilométert mentem vele és teljesen hibátlanul teljesített télen-nyáron.

my only all seasons ever were Yokohama Geolandar G015. They were ok for about two years, but then the compound began to harden and I had to switch. They were decent on snow and water, but sucked on ice.

I hate them. Awful in rain and snow.

I've got a set of Yokohama tires I use for the summer. Very little wear on them, they've seen about 15,000 km total use, not cracked or dry rotted, stored indoors over the winter. They are however from 2016. This year I started hearing a whine in the front end, sounded a bit like a wheel bearing. On freshly laid asphalt it's silent or nearly so. On older pavement it's louder. On the highway in rain, it got REALLY loud, and I could feel a hum in the pedal. Like, loud enough I slowed to about 80kph as I was worried something was going to let go on the car. Pavement went dry? Went back to the normal "bearing" noise. Theres no shaking or balance issues, they drive true and straight, it's just this noise. Car is a 2011 santa fe, in Canada. I bought the tires new in 2016.
