(ACCIDENTALLY FILLED THIS OUT ALREADY ON THE VEHICLE COMPLAINT PAGE, SORRY) I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR ITS 90,000 MILE SERVICE AND THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME BOTH REAR TIRES HAD CRACKS BETWEEN THE TREAD AND THE SHELL OF THE TIRE. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE INSTALLING TIRE SHOP FOR EVALUATION. IT TURNS OUT ALL FOUR TIRES HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WERE REPLACED ON A PRORATED BASIS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER FOR MY SON OR DAUGHTER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS! THE TIRES HAD ONLY 20,200 MILES AND WERE 2.67 YEARS OLD. I EXPECTED MORE LIKE 60,000 MILES AND NO DEFECTS.

Yokohama AVID TOURING S: what the numbers tell you

Manufacturer treadwear data for the AVID TOURING S is not publicly listed. This is common for OEM-only or track-day tires that don't carry a US treadwear warranty. No mileage warranty is published for this tire, which is typical for performance summer and track-day rubber where the manufacturer doesn't make wear-life claims.

Cabin noise data for this tire is not published by the manufacturer. As a general tire built for the passenger segment, the AVID TOURING S is positioned against direct rivals within the same category. Comparing it to a tire in a different category (e.g. summer vs all-season) makes the spec sheet misleading because the design targets are not the same.
