Dear Forum.
Leaving aside the jokes about how Chelsea has come unstuck for putting Yokohama Tyres on their Bus, I have used a set that came with the car for the last 14 months and they are above average.
Need a replacement and are looking for a dealer stocking this brand.
Any leads will be appreciated, so far I have only found 2nd hand dealers.

Boss where did you get yours?My car came with them from Japan and I have not had a single puncture for 3yrs now.I want to replace now since the threads are getting finished.Good quality. Where can one get the same?Is Goodyear good? Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

I think you bought expired tyres. Yes, tyres do have an expiry date and anything over 5-6 years will cost you, probably even your life. Next time you go buying tyres check on the outter lining near the tyre size details for the manufacture date. E.g 1415 means that the tyre was manufactured on the 14th week of 2015. So, if your tyres show something like 2308 - 23rd week of the year 2008, replace them ASAP. Sometimes, accidents are caused by tyres coupled with driver errors. Now you're in the know.

Didn't know this I might have had expired ones, I was shocked a tire could tear like papee, thanks. To Each His Own

I think Bridgestone is far much better The man who marries a beautiful woman, and the farmer who grows corn by the roadside have the same problem
