YOKOHAMA RUBBER DNA Earth-1?

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if anyone knew much about these tires and how they compare to our Stock Michelin's? Are they any good? Do they last long under normal driving conditions? I can't find too much info on this, such as UTQG ratings, but apparently some guy on Craigslist local to me has two used on sale about 90% tread left.

The reason why I'm looking for tires already (2010 TSX V6) was because a month into owning my car, I drove over some sharp metal debris and the rear left tire blew out and I've been rolling on a spare a buddy of mine had. (Some Bridgestone Turanza ER33) The tread is now getting low on the spare.

Seems like a good deal for $60 each... what do you guys think about these? Otherwise I'll probably pick up another pair of Stock Michelins.

Thanks in advance.

Those tires are for sale in Asia, surprise to find them in the US. They are ECO tire made with Orange Oil, suppose to have lower rolling resistance.

My suggestion is to pick up another pair of Michelin, not a good idea to mix and match tires on a car.

you get what you pay for, man. Personally, I'd never buy used tires, let alone ones on craigslist or kijiji or ebay. I'd definitely never get one I'd never heard of that's usually not for sale in N. America.

Go for the stock Michelins or get something like the Yokohama Avid Envigors. Those are what I went with for my summer setup.
