Topic: Question for 1010tires moderators about W-Drive

[Paul L]

I know I have asked this question before.  I am looking for Yoko W-Drive 195/55 R15 and ths size was not listed in 1010tires.  But a google found other  shops are listing them.  It is V902A model.

Will there be any chance that 1010tires will carry them?

Thanks.

Yokohama Canada is not carrying this tire. I have also checked my numerous Yokohama suppliers down south, and none of them list it either.

Most likely it is an exclusive tire to another market, such as Japan or Europe, and these other sites are importing them (if they are in North America), or they have exclusive rights to that tire in NA, which is unlikely. Just like auto makers, the parent company may produce product that a certain country or market does not carry, which looks to be the case here.

So, if you are set on that tire, I am afraid it does not look like we can help you.

Thanks for the reply Nathan,  I am not set on that YoKo tires.  I want a set of all weather tires because I don't have space to store a set of tires.  The Hankook Optima 4S is exclusive to OK Tire, Nokian is exclusive to KTal.  What else you can suggest that can help me?

I live in Regina and most troublesome is the intersections.  They are quite icy during winter.

Thanks.

The Goodyear Assurance Tripletreds appear to be reasonable on ice, they don't have quite your size but they do have 195/60R15.

There are no all weather tires that we carry that are made in that size. All we could really offer you is performance winters, but they're not going to last very long if you use them all year.
