Yokohama YK420

i`m just wondering, i bought my car and Yokohama YK420 tires came with it. i am wondering if these tires are good? i`m trying to search for the specs for it right now. and also, how do i find out what kind of springs i have on my car? i don`t think if the previous owner changed the springs or not, any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

edit: i just searched the web right now for the specs, is the other name for the YK420 the Avid H4?

I have the same tires that the dealer put on when I purchased my car. So far I am satisfied with them. They seem to have decent wet performance, and so far have stayed true to round.

I replaced the stock Michelins with Avid H4S rubber about 6 months ago and I don't regret it. A little more vibration at higher speeds (70+) but handling is night and day. I'll take the trade off...

No the Avid H4 is a different model all together. I believe YK420 are specifically made for Discount Tires. I purchased mine there and no problems so far.
