Googsy, only had new tyres on for a day, and suitably impressed. Smooth, very solid (these are the first tyres I've had with a solid, continuous center band - and it feels like its on rails), so one happy chap.
Hope you are sorted now.

Al,
I think these Yoko's are not going to last at all well, the Hankook I think would do a little better but only time will tell.
The Yoko is a much softer compound as JKP say's and will grip very well, maybe you should do a "track day" or two, now that would be fun. 
Andy.

Andy - replied.
Well I've kept my RRS 19's with the Scorpions on, so if these do wear fast, I can always drop back to 19's. As most of my mileage is motorway stuff, I'm not scrubbing tyres round town, I've always got better than average mileage, so will keep fingers crossed.
W rated - good for 168MHP? Will the D3 manage this

I thought they were developed for the new F1 bred Prius SUV derivative, wouldn't that p  s the enviroMENTALIST's off  I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.
