I didnt really find a lot of feedback on these here at the forum so after getting them a few weeks back I thought I would add some.

Coming from A539's which didn't age well (I dont do a lot of km), I got a very frightening quote for Yoki S Drives and was told the only other option in my size (205/40/17) was an A Drive, which is a shopping trolley tyre. So I started looking at other brands and came across DZ101 at a fair price drop on the S Drives. I have no idea how they will wear and haven't dríven in the wet, but they are a really nice tyre in the dry... seem nice and progressive, really decent levels of grip.

good tread pattern, very similar to my kumho ku31s. larger center stability strip for fast cornering. 2 larger channels for removing water. shoulder pattern/grooves designed to face towards the direction of turn. keep us posted on them please.

If the A-Drive you are talking about is the R1; it isn't a shopping trolley tyre and is an excellent performer.

I'm only going to get 12k km out of the set though, so longevity is not one of their strong points...

Had these in 195/50/15 on my lancer, loved em to bits and replace them with the same whenever i can find them!

Good in both wet and dry, nice stiff sidewalls, and did a good job of holding back a 110kw odd FWD
