Happy with these
Pretty decent tyres so far as noise and grip, and we got 112,000km out of this last set. Almost exclusively country bitumen and freeway travel, but my wife is a pretty aggressive driver at times. They were pretty hard worn at the finish, but that's good wear.
Purchased in June 2021 at Bob Jane T-Marts.

Lovely and quiet, but dreadful lifespan
I loved how quiet these tyres were on my Mazda CX-5 (19"), and they handled beautifully. But I only managed two years of life from them, and 40,000kms. Very disappointed since I paid $1,200 for a set of four.

A BIT OF PERSPECTIVE
More than 40,000 km on a tyre ? why? tyres are the primary safety system of a car. 4mm is minimum legal tread, certainly not an adequate amount of tread for safe handling and braking.
noise - it is very quiet for a M&S tyre, quieter go with a H/T tyre
Squealing -primarily alignment related, most tyre places only have the competence for toe adjustment. Inadequate, needs to be a thrust or 4 wheel alignment. All cars have inherent alignment problems that can be remedied, for my Mercedes that was camber and caster correction to stop it destroying t...Read more

Performance OK - Life expectancy SHORT
How can Yokohama can claim "longer life" for this tyre when everyone here is telling the same opposite story from their user experiences. And that's me too with my Trailhawk fitted new with them lasting just 42,000 km after very easy driving. I followed the tyre pressure & rotating rules but won't get caught again. So I'll just repeat from below... " I'd give them 1 star but gave 2 stars because they have been good tyres (e.g. in the rain and quiet)."

Tyres good but longevity extremely poor
I bought these tyres mainly for their advertised longevity. They were supposed to be extremely long wearing. I got 65,000 from my Captiva 5 OEM tyres (Hankook Dynapros) and they had about 5000 still left on them. I only got 40,000 from these Yoko GO55s and they need to be replaced. Completely worn down. Same road conditions. I mainly drive on nice 80km straight roads in CBR. I rotated them four times as well. And always kept inflated. Sure there are a couple of round abouts in CBR, but not enough to wear down tyres. Really disappointing, partic...Read more
ularly because I paid a premium. Also I submitted this review directly to the Yokohama website and they are refusing to put it up. So their 5 star rating is bogus. I'd give them 1 star but gave 2 stars because they have been good tyres (e.g. in the rain and quiet) for the 40,000km that I have used them.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Newly fitted no problems
Saw mixed reviews for this tyre, but have now had it for 1week and have been happy.
Initial Grip is great, noise is quiet. Very comparable to my previous Ecopia P850s.
Will update review once i've had some wear on them.
Purchased at Bob Jane via buy 3 get 4 deal. Was advertised at $199 per tyre, but managed to get for $189

Fragile
Had to replace one tyre just weeks after purchase! Wall damage whilst driving on Council road 12mths ago.
Wear and handling reasonable since, but just had another failure on country (gravel) road. Sudden deflation resulted in wall damage, therefore a second replacement! 4 for price of 3 good value at the time, but not now!!

Very average
OK in the dry & reasonably quiet, but very average in the wet on a 2015 Forester (225 60/17) - front washes out on roundabouts. And speaking of roundabouts, these things squeal on them badly after about 8000 k's. Found this to also be the case on a RAV4 I hired not long ago which was fitted with these Yokohama's & 8000 k's on them..
Only got 22k out of them (mainly city driving) & now heading back Michelin to try the new Primacy 3. Bye bye Yokohama, I wont be back.

Good grip and quiet
Bought these to replace the Dunlop Grandtek ST30 on my Toyota Kluger AWD. Got them more for the price and seems to have good review in the UK. Cost $860 total at BobJane due to their promo get 3 and 1 free. Kumho and Dunlop tires cost more at Kmart, costing about $1k and 1.2k respectively. Still early days to have definite say about the performance of these tires. But so far the Yokohama seem to grip and handle well at least on dry roads, quiet and don't squeal around roundabouts.

Three yrs later and having driven 55,000 kms, the Yokohama G055 tyres are now due for replacement, according to the car service report. I would give the tyres 5 stars for performance but 4 stars for e... Read more
ndurance/durability. The Yokohama G055 tyres continued to remain quiet and have good grips on dry and wet roads. The only thing was I expected the tyres to last more than the current 55,000 kms. I mainly drive in the suburbs and on the freeways to school, work and home. I am not a leadfoot driver. But then, I drive through several roundabouts every day. Maybe that's what contributed to lower mileage.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

After two months using these tyres, I can't fault them. Very good performance. Good grip on wet and dry roads, and quiet too.
