PrinzII Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 After it was discovered that I had a bad set of Pirelli Scorpion Verdes, Discount Tire suggested to me that I should give the Yokohama YK580s a try. Point blank, I should have went with these tires from the jump. The first thing I noticed was that these tires are as quiet as the stock Michelin Latitudes but more than $50 cheaper. Trust me, that is a huge compliment. I like the handling and road feel these tires have. I have never driven any tire on an Edge that possessed these qualities short of a performance tire. I have not had an opportunity to try the wet weather traction yet. I will let you guys know about these tires as the miles add up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinzII Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) I drove to Tucson yesterday and it was 100+ outside. The tires held up very well, even with my "spirited" driving. My back seat passengers remarked on how smooth the ride was. My wife agreed and understood why I wound up choosing these over the Pirellis. As for the fuel economy, it has dropped around 1 mpg.
