Identify the size of your tyre
The exact dimensions of a tyre can be found on the sidewall printed mark. The graphic shows how to read properties and dimensions of the tyre:
 
/
SPEED INDEX:
The speed index indicates the maximum speed intended for the tyre. Up to this value, the manufacturer guarantees optimum operation with the appropriate tyre pressure. The maximum speed allowed for this vehicle is given in the vehicle owner's manual; this information can be used to select the appropriate speed index for the tyre. The speed index is the last mark on the sidewall of the tyre.
 
Load Index
Permissible maximum axle load per tyre in kg. To be found in the registration certificate or vehicle registration document or read directly from the tyre (two-digit number). It is permitted to fit a tyre with a higher load index.
 
Driving safety despite puncture
Runflat tyres are puncture-resistant tyres with reinforced sidewalls. This creates the so-called run-flat property. In the event of damage, this allows the vehicle to continue driving up to a distance of approx. 100 km (and even beyond depending on the product) at a maximum speed of 80 km/h, even if the pressure has been completely lost. Run-flat tyres even prevent the tyre rubber from jumping off the rim in the event of a loss of air pressure. A flat tyre is therefore still a flat tyre, but it loses some of its drama. Note: All run-flat tyres are marked with the symbol "RSC" (Runflat System Component) and may only be fitted in vehicles with a functioning air pressure control system!
 
Tyres with increased load capacity
Reinforced tyres are designed for higher loads than normal tyres. They can be identified by the designation 'RF' (reinforced) or also 'XL' or 'Extra Load'. They are used on vans, minibuses, off-road vehicles, etc. However, their mounting alone does not automatically result in higher load capacity but also requires a correspondingly higher air pressure. Furthermore, the load capacity index specified in the vehicle documents continues to apply.
 
Tyres with extra high load capacity
The "C" in the term C tyres stands for "commercial". These tyres are specially designed for commercial vehicles. These can be, for example, lighter trucks, delivery vans, flatbed trucks or panel vans. In other words: vehicles that have to move higher loads at a comparatively lower speed. The multi-ply reinforced C tyres are therefore even more load-bearing than reinforced tyres.
 
Mobility-optimised tyres
A tyre with a sealing layer on the opposite side of the tyre tread. In the event of a puncture (e.g. by a nail), this layer blocks any loss of air, even if the foreign body causing the puncture is still in the tyre. It is not necessary to stop or change the tyres immediately at the roadside.

Tyre developed for electric vehicles. These tyres can also be used without hesitation on vehicles with other drive systems.

Excellent rear wheel drive traction in snow and wet roads
11.04.2023fromNick Turner
I bought these tyres because of the price and performance and there isn't much choice for winter tyres on 21" rims. I drive sensibly with a mixture of counrty roads and highways. I have noticed the tyres are quite a bit noisier than summer tyres but that's to be expected given the tread pattern. Fuel consumption isn't that different which I'm pleased about. Grip, both wet and dry is exceptional. I usually buy tyres with rim protection, these don't have it and I have kerbed my wheels, just have to be more careful in future. Overall I'm pleased with these Yokohama's and would buy again.
22.10.2021fromJohn Walker
This vehicle is used for both medium distance trips and a considerable amount of off-road mileage through the winter months (September-February). My two previous MLs had been fitted with General Grabber which had performed very well and particularly off-road in wet and muddy conditions, with a tread pattern that did not clog reducing their efficiency and the vehicles had never become stuck. Collectively, these vehicles had covered more than 421,000 miles without issue. However, my newest ML has bigger wheel rims and General Grabber do not build a tyre to fit. Yokohama appeared to be the only manufacturer to build tyres that fitted with anything like a proper off-road tread. My early experiences suggest that they are less efficient off-road than my previous selection, but this assessment is still work in progress.
12.06.2020fromEduard Silaghi
Hi guys, i'm always happy to leave positive feedback about Yokohama tyres and respectfully sellers!!! I highly recommend this sellr for their proper service and good quality!

This is probably the best winter tyre I have ever bought. Wet roads, dry roads, snow and even in the summer. Comfortable, no more road noise than summer tyres. This tyre also performs better on wet roads in the summer in comparison to every summer tyre I have owned. Using these tyres in the summer is therefore not an issue in my opinion looking at the wear resistance and all-round performance. The Alpin 5 at the front lasted 44000 miles and the rear tyres are still on (56000 miles!) Michelin winter tyres last longer than summer tyres so will carry on buying the Alpin 6 from now on.

Excellent driving experience on these tyres. They feel safe, sturdy and solid on the road in heat, heavy rain, slippery roads due to mud, country roads, uneven and good surfaces, I have not yet tried in snow or ice. To any walkers reading this, they feel like vibram soles for my car!
07.08.2024frompeter andrews
tyres only have well below normal 6.5mm tread from new and mine were worn down to 4.1 mm tread after 400 miles plus one developed a bulge. Worst tyres ever only have perhaps 1 years life

These tyres are good for grip and average for comfort, but let down on noise levels.

Better all around than the tyres supplied with the car
05.01.2024fromNick Ibrahim
I drive mostly in the city at low speeds however when taking to motorways in the UK I drive at 70MPH and in Europe at 75MPH. The drive is smooth and fuel economy is excellent, tyre wear is good and noise levels within the car is minimal.
08.06.2023fromNathan Gillick
Excellent safe and fun. You need to give warning when it won’t arrive for weeks before the customer pays though. I was stuck without something suitable. It’s not acceptable.

07.03.2024fromWill Hills
Everything about the tyres is excellent.
15.11.2022fromGlenn Briden
This is a SNOW tire I don't plan on doing track days with it.. NO it is not as good as my Summer tires in the Dry or Wet it is not made for this it's a SNOW tire give it some slush, Snow, Mild Ice and they are Great. Yup they make some noise thats expected. The trade off I think is fair though they have put a pretty good dent in my fuel milage guess that is the price you have to pay for safety.
06.07.2022fromwouldnotbuyfrom mytyres again
To be honest I have not had a chance to use these tyres because mytyres.co.uk took about two months to delver them to my home in the UK so I had to buy some other tyres from my local garage for my MOT. The tyres look fine to me but they are still sat in their packaging unused. mytyres.co.uk however wasted my time and money with multiple phone calls to couriers, their office, and a lot of misinformation and incorrect details from them about what was going on, so I won't be using them again. I was actually shocked at how bad their service was.
