Ive always loved the yoko's pricey but good performance tires. Mainly a good summer tire. Ive had these tires before for about 12,000 and sold them. I drive hard on my tires, in the rain I have caught myself to be careful they do hydroplane but then iam a aggressive driver. Ive known them to be quiet tires to unlike my a032r's that i just bought, sound like truck tires very soft tire=sticky

I dont know to much of the 712 but they are another popular tire. I think these two are about equal in what they offer.
