The Yoko S-Drive in size 195/45/17 is the widest tyre I can find that'll fit within the Beemer swingarm on the back of my trike.

I've read that they're a sports biased tyre akin to something like the Toyo T1-R's.

I've never used them, and don't know anyone who has. Has anyone on here? Good, bad, indifferent???

I have them on my polo GTI. 195-45-16. Infact I am on my third set! Love them.

Have lots of grip even in the wet. Managed pretty well on the ice last year. Cant speak for how they would perform on a lightweight car, but I love them on the GTI. On hot roads (IE the Alps) they get nice and hot and sticky (in relative terms, given they are road tyres)

A bit noisier than some (apparently), but I dont really notice.

Thanks for that!

I've got a few spare 195/60 R15's if you want them for a trial fit (they should be within 5mm diam. of the 195/45 R17)

what fitment is the wheel that you've got ?
