Of course a 205/65R15 92S tire is going fit a wheel if its those dimensions.No idea why the auto fit says it won’t but it does fit my 2001 Camry v6 with 15 inch wheels.Seems to handle just fine , I replaced just fronts and happy with them so far.We’ll see about wear in about a year .

There is nothing to bad to report. I bought these to put on the front of a 1974 Datsun 710 that is very fussy about it’s front tires. These tires are as good as any that Iv’e used in the past and cost less.

Just purchased my second set of these as the first set lasted me for six years believe it or not. They’re still holding up but time to replace them. These tires are great in the rain, and great in the snow. If you could see how worn these tires are on my car and how they held up driving through a rain storm and through deep puddles you would be amazed. I’ve had Goodyears, Kumho’s, and some other brands on the car over the years but nothing has been a perfect match like the Yokohama’s are. I’m extremely particular about my tires as my other car I do racing with and when I want a tire I go for one that can handle what you want to throw at it. These are exactly those tires and knocking on wood can’t believe I’ve never had a flat in 6 years. Dang tires going outlast the life of my car at this rate.

The original tires for my wife’s Forester were running low so I looked at replacements. These tires actually have a lower speed rating (T versus H) than the stock tires however they are the correct size. For reference, a T means the maximum safe speed to drive is 118 mph; an H denotes a safe speed of 130. Since my wife doesn’t regularly travel above 105 mph, these tires seemed like they’d be a good match ,,,. and I was right. The tires look fantastic on her car and are nearly silent when driving on the highway. They’re amazingly quiet and stick to the road tenaciously. The grip is apparent when driving through rain and, especially, wet pavement with either a painted or tarred surface. With the old tires, turning on those extra slippery surfaces would produce squealing, these tires produce no noise, just traction. I would purchase the Avid tires again in an instant as we’re very happy with the feel and performance. They been on for Forester for several months and have no apparent wear.

Great tires! Got mounted and balanced with minimal weights (I mount tires in my own garage). My 2012 Prius rolls surprisingly quiet and soft again – just like a new car. Handling and high speed performance are also very good. You need to understand though – it’s not a racing track tire, but very balanced one for a daily drive. Recommend!

I bought a pair of these for my Honda Odyssey I had the professionally installed for some reason my steering wheel started to shake a bit, the tire shop said that the tires has some kind of curve on the treads

Excellent traction and good for speeds up to 60mph. The sidewalls are a bit soft so any highway driving can be a bit challenging to keep a straight line. Most of my driving is highway driving and any wind gusts or passing semis or even cars can make your car sway a lot. I have had Uniroyal, Michelin, Douglas, and Cooper tires and these are the only ones I have had issues with on the highway which I am traveling 70mph plus. My bald Douglas tires handled better on the highway but no traction because the tread was so low.

I’ve had to completely replace the tires on my car that I’ve had for 13 years now, and I really like them. I purchased the all-season variation, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with them. I had to fall into brand loyalty, but should I need to purchase more tires for my current, or hopefully future vehicle someday, I’ll likely put some Yokohamas on it.

Smooth, quiet comfortable ride. Great handling. Excellent value. You will only get about 40K miles before these are worn out, but that has more to do with the weight of this vehicle. Smaller vehicles will definitely get higher mileage. I have purchased many tires in my lifetime – Michelin, Pirelli, Verdistein, Dunlop, Continental. I don’t buy cheap tires. These Yokohamas are definitely a quality tire and a good value.

I installed it on my truck and so far it’s working great Runs smooth and quiet. The price was the best part as I don’t use the truck that often and didn’t want to spend too much for my truck that sits at the house most of the time. My old tire still had lots of thread left but the sidewalls started cracking due to age.

Tire is brand new, not remade, love this brand

Very pleased with these tires, and also Pep Boys in Newark ca did an outstanding job. I had a slight wobble in the steering wheel when you let it go, now smooth as butter!

Best price I could find anywhere. I put four of these tires on my 2013 Prius with 56800 miles on the original tires and it felt like I was driving a brand new car. Very quiet and excellent handling, plus they’re high gas mileage tires. I paid $50 to have my tires installed and when I took to the place to have them installed the guy asked if I bought them online. I said yes and he looked a little bit dubious and said he’s seen a lot of problems with online tires. After installing them he said they were very good tires and needed they very little balancing weight added. It was a used tire shop, so I didn’t have to pay the normal used tire disposable fee in Maryland.

I have a love/hate relationship with these tires. I’ve had them on multiple cars over the years. No other tire I’ve tried has ridden as smooth and quiet while still offering the quick grip you’d expect from a more performance-oriented tire. Great wet weather performance as well. It feels like an ideal commuter tire.That said, I’ve yet to have a set last more than 40k miles without needing to be replaced (even with regular rotating.) This last set barely made it past 30k. Part of that is because my commute has changed toward a shorter stop-and-go on curvy, hilly roads. But that’s still pretty poor. That said they’re a great deal so I’m trying to decide whether or not to pull the trigger yet again . . .

Not a lot of data on these particular tires, but I’ve used the same model tires for many miles over a period of 7 years and I was quite impressed with their performance. I don’t expect to be disappointed by this purchase. Very good price as well.

I bought these to replace the bias-ply tires that are no longer available for my Mercedes 220D sedan. I was a little worried about the handling of the tire, as the Mercedes is quite a heavy car.There was no reason to fear. The tires look good and handle perfectly. I live in the mountains, so the curves and hills will make you take notice of your car (and tires) ability to handle. These fit the bill perfectly. In fact, my car corners noticeably better than with the previous tires. I would definitely purchase these again.

The Yokohama Avid Touring S All-Season Tire provides good tire life together with better gas mileage. I have been running them since Consumer Reports rated them a few years ago, and they do have long life, and seem to also have low rolling resistance since my gas mileage improved when I first switched to them.Addendum: After a couple of years and about 20,000 miles of use my tires still have decent tread left, EXCEPT I have had three instances of belt/tread separation causing flat spots and non-round tires. Had to replace these three tires way before they wore out because of road noise and vibration, and risk of failure. So in the long term I have to say that they tend to fail prematurely due to early internal tire structure failure rather than wear out.

Did a fair amount of research and found these to be the best middle ground of what I was looking for on my vehicle. 2008 Saab SportCombi (wagon). Seemed to balance up pretty well, one needed a weight inside and out other 3 very little. Seem to ride nice, some slight road noise but I attribute that to the roads more than the tires. Obviously I cannot comment on wear or mileage yet but will follow up when I get about 5K on them.

I’ve had these tires on my Honda Accord 2002 for years now and I have no complaints. I’m no car expert, so I’m not gonna comment on how they drive, etc. What I can say is that they’ve worked fine so far, no problems since they were installed and I would buy them again.
