Yokohama C.Drive

Has anyone had any experience with these tyres? They are relatively new,

and are the first of the Drive range from Yokohama. I loved the 539s and,

but since Yokohama are phasing them out, these C.Drive's are apparently

the replacement.

Yokohama’s latest technologies converge in the C.drive tyre to provide true driving confidence. Higher levels of grip come from a new micro flexible silica tread compound. Four wide straight grooves provide stronger wet weather performance and anti-aquaplaning properties. A clever variation in tread block stiffness and design provides the perfect balance between cornering and braking performance. A staggered block design and 5 pitch variation theme has been applied to reduce road noise levels in both new and worn tyre conditions. The C.drive is a worthy successor the award winning A539.

Eugene, I think you'll find there are much better tyres out there for the money then the yokohamas. Have a shop around and try and get your butt in a few 'lines that have something similiar fitted. I use Federal's for everyday stuff and Dunlop semi slick track days tyres......both very nice to drive with.

      Thought I’d post pics of the packages for those interested. The premium package is #16. Remote start, security with tilt sensor and remote and backup battery, auto fold mirrors and door illumination.    Can post up pics of all the factory options and images from the factory options brochure if people are interested. I have all the dealer books etc for all rv37 models.

      Thanks Paul.   i have Friends at Nissan. Acquiring and attempting an instal is no issue. Getting the system isn’t a problem, I’ll get it direct from Nissan Japan over Nissan Australia anyway. Cheaper and quicker!  Do these mates get it working or is it just acquiring?   Interested to know what was required to get it functioning if that’s what your meaning.    An importer/dealer just sold one near me with remote start installed and working, and a believe they do their own compliance. But it still needs to pass the pits so that’s interesting reagrdin legalities. I know Vf commodores have it so assumed the modern skylines must meet aust standards.

      Getting the remote start is a pain. My local Nissan can do it but it's not allowed to do it. Something about remote start rules regulations in Aus. The Nissan one doesn't tick all the boxes. I think the only way is having a friend that works at a Nissan service centre to do it for on the sly. But that's impossible because people who work at our local Nissan service don't make friends because they are always screwing everyone over
