I have a set of those. I've had them for about a year. They seem to wear well and are inexpensive. They handle fine in crosswinds, seemingly equal to the D load Bridgestones, the XC4S Michelins, and the old XC Michelins. I don't really like them, though, because they feel so stiff and heavy on pavement breaks, bumps and potholes. The Bridgestones grip equally well on all types of pavement but they feel more lively and smoother on rough roads. For the money, the Yok 356 is a good tire, but I think there are better tires available.
