My wife's 94 SVX, "Pearly", has Yokohama A-540 tires on it. I cqan't find anything on these tires. Apparently Yoko does not sell them anymore. Does anyone here have any experience or data on these tires that they can share?

I drove her SVX to & from work yesterday. I was impressed with these tires . I would characterize them as high perfrmance touring tires, from looking at the tread pattern.
Larry, when I bought my SVX 4 years ago it had Yoko A-540's on. The dealer put them on brand new.
Yokohama made them exclusively for Sears so that's the only place you'll find them. Some Sears may still have them in.
I found them to be a decent tyre (aka tire) but very noisy. I replaced them with Dunlop SP5000 which my research said would be the best all around for summer/winter use. So far I really like them. I know you also have (had) them on your '97.
