Thats me with the Yokos.  I like them a lot, and I think they are a
great for the price.  These are not all seasons at all though.  They get
rock hard in the cold, and when I was trying to leave Marks, all they
did was spin in the snow.  I've got Yoko Guardex tires now for the snow
now.  Also the Kumhos aren't great in the snow either, but I know
someone wit a Maxima that runs them all year round, and they're ok, once
the road is pretty clear.

    I'm going to be buying these for the 92 this spring.  Heard good
things
about them, and worked on a 93 that had them, seemed like a pretty good
tire.

    I put the nitto 450's on my 89 for street tires, basically to go to
the
track and back.  The wear well, and are good in the wet, but don't have
much
dry grip.  Also in a straight line, they don't put the power down very
well.
But cheap and smooth and quiet on the hwy at 100 mph.
