Thats what i found aswell, in the wet they were dreadful.
I've got them on at the moment. They don't fill the rim properly, and yes they are the right size.
They are alright when warm in the dry actually, but crap in the wet. They also squeal quite a bit, unless it's just my tyres. They seem to be lasting quite well though, they have been on the car about 8k now, and are only half worn on the front. Though I am generally quite gentle with the car most of the time.

It's how they perform in the dry that counts. In the wet, go slower.
I've had 3 sets in total now, and all 3 have been given death on track regularly.
They can handle heat, they don't shed treadblocks like PE2s do, and their behaviour at and beyind the limit is very progressive.
As a road tyre they excel as you can play with it/them, without fear of it ever getting out of hand.
As said before...only in the dry though.
And I never got less than 12k out of each set including the trackdays so they last really well.

Mine are over a year old.... I drive my car.

I use them. as said, they are great in the dry when they are warm. when it's wet they are shite, but who cares about that?
We'll see how good they are on a track this Sunday! Wooop!!!!
Only downside is they just don't seem wide enough (195's) for my rims... So when idiots drive at me, and i'm forced to mount a kerb - my nice black turini's get scathed!!!

Well I haven't done any track days, and it's stupid to drive fast on the road. Maybe you drive like a c0ck!
That's ok, you're entitled to your own opinion.

I had them on my old clio for about 2 months, here is a picture of the damage caused by s**t Yoko A539's.
Whoever inspected the accident said my car veered uncontrollably to the left into the bush because the front passenger side tyre split whilst driving. They're also terrible in the wet.

I have them all round and drive like a loon. They've done 12k+ and whatever Chic did on them. No issues at all and I don't think they're bad in the wet either.
Only really gripe is the lack of rim protection, they seem to kerb themselves.
trust me u dont drive like a loon if you have done over 12k on front tyres esp yokos, I seen them when chic had them too!!!

I do, and they lasted to 12k consistantly across 3 sets including trackdays.

No bait involved. Merely stating fact. You may not have liked them, fair cop, others do.
Different tyres suit different driving styles. These suit mine and have lasted longer than any other tyre I have used in the process.

It's just you, they are A539's, I got them as an "upgrade" with the new wheels. And after 2 months, the tyre did just tear for no reason, I felt it as it went, it caused to car to pull into a bush and then flip 3 times. I do not recommend these tyres. The exalto 2's on the 182 are in a different league, you can tell the difference when you switch cars.
