I've exclusively bought all our tires over the last two decades from either Costco or Sam's. I went multiple times to the nearest Sam's to price a set of tires on my wife's vehicle and rotate my vehicle's tires without any luck. The 3rd time I visited they had one car in the bay, the 4th and last they had no cars in the bay. The technician told me he didn't want to get wet to get my vehicle. (It was sprinkling...and he still didn't want to look up my wife's vehicle's tires even though that didn't involve going outside.)That's when I decided to give Amazon a try. I was able to buy the exact tires Consumer Reports recommended for long life for a competitive price and have them delivered to the local Tire Kingdom. I did have to wait a week, but the whole installation experience was a breath of fresh air. I'm not sure if I got lifetime rotate and balance like I would have at Sam's, but the way I've been treated both recently and in the past (they've broken the $80 in-wheel tire pressure sensors twice at that same Sam's that wouldn't help me last month) I don't know if that really makes financial sense anyways.Preface - This is not a bad review of the product, I enjoy Yokohama brand tires as they're a good quality tire. This is a critique of the delivery being the wrong size TWICE despite me noting the error.Delivery Review - I don't often come to give bad reviews, I'm okay to forgive some errors. But today is not the case. I ordered two Yokohama tires, size 205/55R16 91H. Instead I got 205/65R15 92T. No big deal, someone must have got the 5 and 6 numbers crossed. I write in my return that the numbers are mixed up and reorder the tires. Today I get the SAME mistaken tires 205/65R15 92T. That '15' is NOT going to fit my wheel.To make matters worse, while the return is supposed to be fully covered, but I only get one slip to ship them back. Because of the nature of how each tire was shipped as 'individual packages', when I went to return them at UPS, the clerk says they need to be in one container or tied together so they're covered by the slip return so I had to pay extra out of pocket to send back this mistake and now I'm poised to be doing this again.I thought I'd be getting something good and easy from here since I had no problem in the past but I guess I though wrong. I'll return this mistake, but after that I'm going to Tirerack like I should have from the start to avoid this mess.Great tire rides well and handles well on wet and slippery roads . Wearing even with not a lot of road noise . But next time I will be getting a little more aggressive tread for better traction in snow . Over all I am happy with the tire .I installed these on a Honda Fit Sport. Very quite ride. We got 4 inches of snow the day after I put them on the car. I am the guy that plows the snow, so when I go into work, the roads aren't plowed. These tires handled very well in the snow. When I ordered these, I couldn't find a tread life warranty. It is 75,000 miles. I'm impressed! I've only had these tires on the car for 4 days now, so I cant rate longevity, but I do like them so far! ...Ok, here is several months later. I'm in northern Illinois. So far this winter, we have received over 60" of snow this season. Traction on these tires is amazing. Have not got stuck yet. Excellent ride on the interstate at 75 mph. Highly recommend these tires. Note - I used internal tire balancing beads in these tires, nice ride!Quiet on the highway, confident handling and super traction in heavy rain. I did a lot of research prior to purchase and it paid off - after 3 months of heavy use, I feel great about having chosen these tires.Update: one year later. Did I mention these tires are quiet - a year of hard driving and they're still so quiet it's actually spooky. We've driven on snow,, on ice, on murderous ice with cables, through torrents of rain pummeled by outrageous winds and, of course, traversed all kinds of dry road surfaces - complete perfection. They still corner like a dream and inspire confidence under all conditions. Simply the best tire I have ever owned and the best part is they show minimal wear after a year, no hardening, no oxidation. I highly recommend these tires for the 2008 Honda Odyssey.2007 Prius, replaced the front tires with the same type as on the rear. A bit louder than expected, though the car handles like it is on rails. Not much snow as yet (Dec, Chicago), looking forward to good performance there.I am so thankful that these tires were available online because I could not afford to go to Discount Tire. I get better gas mileage with these tires. I have been able to test them out on a recent road trip and they are just what I needed. Not too much road noise, and excellent tracking on the roads during wet, rainy, slick, cold conditions. I usually purchase Michelin's but I will stick with Yokohama's going forward. I also wanted to comment on the Vendor, the customer service was superb and they were really great to work with.So I put this particular tire; as a rear tire for my 2016 Ultra Limited. The first day anything over 80mph, caused a massive wobble. It's calmed down a bunch now though; 2 months later.El DOT del product es del año en curso y la entrega fue ágil
