The fronts have not been available in the USA for many years.   Yokohama 
USA told me directly that they had destroyed the molds and would no longer be 
making them, but that obviously isn't true.   Yokohama UK told me that they 
were only made every few years in a batch of 1000 tires at a time.   So you 
may have gotten tires from the most recent batch.   But those tires still 
can't be purchased in the USA from Yokohama; American owners are forced to buy 
them from Europe.
