I'll second that! I got 2 of these for mine on Harry's recommendation 
- they're superb!. Handling is dramatically better than even the 
Conti re-inforced tires I have. I will get 2 more once the Conti are 
worn out, unless I get tired of them first... They seem very durable 
also - after a few days of rough road driving, the Contis had lots of 
little cuts in the tread, but the Yokos had none.
