And since it's not available in lower profiles, would probably hit my fenders, not to mention having 769 revs/mile instead of 831. > Those Yokos you have seem to be a Discount Tire exclusive, but they > advertised it as a premium all season tire.

I did a search on YK520 and found that there is even a website dedicated to them! http://yokohamayk520.com/ They are indeed touted as snow tires, but in 225/55-16 on a '94 E420, they sure are lousy. On http://yokohamayk520.com/, if you click on "Links", you get taken to a page that has a list of "Discount Tire Miscellaneous Links," thus exposing the Discount Tire association.
