What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

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.

Themes extracted from 17 owner reviews found online.

The Yokohama S306 is a polarizing tire that excels in dry conditions and longevity but receives significant criticism for its poor wet-weather performance. While some users appreciate its durability and value, many report a lack of confidence and traction when driving on damp or rainy surfaces.

Pros

Excellent dry weather grip and handling
High tread longevity and durability
Stiff sidewall provides good steering feedback
Cost-effective price point

Cons

Consistently poor wet weather traction
Harsh ride quality and high road noise
Tendency to tramline on uneven surfaces
Unstable at higher speeds on certain performance vehicles

Worth knowing

Performance-oriented vehicles like the VW R32 and Mazda3 report significant dissatisfaction with wet grip and ride comfort.
Users with heavier, steady-driving vehicles like the Ford Mondeo report higher satisfaction levels, suggesting the tire may be better suited for touring than spirited driving.
