I placed in order with my neighbour mechanic for (4) Yokohama, appointment scheduled Friday next week to install them on my SW2.

should be a good choice and an appropriate tire for that vehicle.

When I had my Sentra, I replaced the oem Bridgestones with a recent, almost new set of similar Yokos bought from a co-worker (Avid Ascend something) and absolutely loved them! (before throwing tomatoes, my '08 Sentra had 3 pedals and 6 speeds, so there's that).

 Regardless of the age of the tire, it must be replaced according to the law.


What law would that be?

Lots of tread left. Send it.

But do they give a smooth no bump ride?

Is that a spare for your GM motorhome?  I thought for a minute you were trying to mount it to your snowblower  :rofl2:

My brother in law came down to the city from north of Prince George with an ancient Volkswagen motorhome, a ten hour drive.

When he checked his tires in the morning they looked like that. Luckily we have a tire shop around the corner!

Well, my snowblower tire does have a slow leak, but it didn't fit.

Yeah, from the motorhome.  I'll go see if it holds air :idea:

Edit:  Nope, not surprisingly, it has a leak :thumbdown:

Is your "spare" a recap tire?

All 4 were cracked on the Saturn when I changed them last summer but they looked much better than your spare!

That Michelin is still holding the wheel off the ground. Impressive.
