How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews

What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 5 owner reviews found online.
The four available reviews of the Yokohama A008P are split between enthusiastic praise and frustration over setup problems. Drivers highlight exceptional handling and low noise, while two owners of older Porsche 911s struggled to get the tires to balance. The very small sample limits how far these findings can be generalized.
Pros
- Exceptional handling and high-speed stability, with one reviewer saying the tires could go faster than the car allowed
- Quiet operation, noted by a a retailer reviewer
- Strong driver confidence and road feel, with one owner saying they carried more speed through corners
- Porsche validation was cited as a mark of quality
Cons
- Difficulty balancing, reported by two reviewers
- Road force balancing revealed tires out of spec, including one that could not be balanced and two that were way out of spec in another set
- Vibration and shaking persisted after standard balancing attempts and suspension component changes
- Possible flat-spotting on cars that sit or are driven infrequently, as one owner noted
Worth knowing
- Both balancing complaints came from owners of older Porsche 911s (an 87 911 and a 1989 Porsche), so they may be tied to that application or to the age of the cars.
- The enthusiastic handling review came from a Porsche owner whose car was identified as a '21 2L TXI', and it cited Porsche's validation of the tire.
- No tire sizes were listed in any review, so size-specific conclusions can't be drawn.
