How is the ride with the S.Drive Yokohama tire, I have read a lot on tire rack that they are very loud....... but the tire does perform well...??

Thanks. Perhaps, I don't hate them. I just hope I don't turn into one of those guys that switches up wheels ever few months lol (not hating )

You finally got wheels though!!
Thanks Rob. Yeah they are kinda weird up close

Yes sir. The IS trunk sucks... lol. I fit one tire in the trunk. Everything else was in the cabin. I have a few more pics of that if you'd like to see'em. Just PM me.

I wasn't the biggest fan either, but seeing the black w/polished lip match the body and window trim helped in the decision. Not to mention I'm pretty much the only OB IS with these wheels so It's nice to be different

Strasse Forged look great my friend. IMO I shoulda went with those specs as well lol. Naw I didn't have much of a choice from the seller who was IMO giving these away. Beggars can't be choosers. My next set with definitely be a higher offset. I cringe driving sometimes

This is my first experience with the S.Drives. I've always been a bridgestone guy. I like them. Good grip and performance. They are a bit more louder than my RE760's on my OEMs, but not bad. Not to mention the price is not bad. Certainly not the quietest tire if that's what your asking

Yeah it was funny I called the place I was gonna have the tires mounted and set an appointment. Not realizing how big/much I had lol. But i'm proof that you can do it. Visibility on the right hand side was nonexistent so be careful. Also the tire sitting on my center console had to be propped against my shoulder for the drive lol. I put towels down over the leather before loading everything
