I too had the same problems with the Yokos and, if you read the comments on Tirerack, so did an awful lot of other people. I suspect the uneven wear we all experienced is due to some basic design flaw of the tire more than anything else. I'm surprised Tirerack is still promoting them. In any case, since I ditched the Yoko's I've been running Bridgestone Turanza LS-Vs 225/50/16. They're extremely quiet, handle well and after 15K show no signs of wear.
Cheers,
