Tires Hankook or YOKOHAMA
Yes, I had the Hankook New Englander 205/55R16H for about 4 years on my Mazda 5, and they had just over 60k miles on them. I liked them enough to buy the same thing again. I'm in Massachusetts and they feel great in all kinds of New England weather. I do a lot of driving to work including highway and city. They are grippy in rain, snow, sleet and every combination even at highway speeds. I did get a bulge in the sidewall and kept driving them the last 5-10k or so, even though I knew better. (Don't do this even though it never popped on me.) There was still a little wear left on them, but you have to replace a tire with a bulged sidewall, so I got all 4.
I own 25 gli and I can confirm the tires it came with is horrible and my first '15 jetta still on the tires Yokohama advan a/s+ ultra performance since I bought so I'm planning to get same tires on my gli because they handled great in all seasons tbh I never had problems with snow or rain they get traction pretty well.
Vitour P1 is faster. A052 are awesome tires. I prefer the stiffness of the re71rs.
I have them on a Genesis g80, they have just over 47,000 miles on them. Love them. Very quiet, great traction even in a little snow/sleet. Good ride. I had Michelin on before and they were slightly quieter but I only got 24k miles out of them. I can easily get 20,000 more miles out of these Yokohamas. Great tire for the price in my opinion.
Nice! I'd say Yokohama A052 is the fastest 200tw tire :) but best is dependent on use case. For me, I need a 2-3 laps to set my fastest time, so I prefer the RE-71RS as they seem to be able to get another hot lap. But, yeah, the Yokes are peak fastest.
These tires continue to impress. This 1:29 was on NINE DAY OLD a052.
I’m a simp for the Yokohama Advan Apex tires. They are cheap, have good grip and last a while. They are 280TW but I use them on my daily that I also autocross so it does both jobs very well.
2019 stock tires sounded and handled great but were soft and didn't last long. I was buying new before 35K.
After 2K miles i could not stand the road noise anymore. I upgraded my tires and what a difference it was. that annoying road noise disappeared and grip got a lot better.
I don't think they're overly noisy but don't think they're very grippy. I'm actively avoiding running the car in the rain from the hydroplaning posts and dismal Tire Rack ratings - which is kind of ridiculous.
