Tires MICHELIN or YOKOHAMA
The oem Yokohamas on my 22 legacy are at 42k with plenty of life left
I would also recommend looking at the Nokian one and Michelin defender2.
The michelin defender 2 is rated for 70 or 80k miles, and is generally very quiet.
Yeah the Avid GT’s were on some Corolla wheels I bought. Good tires, nice and quiet. Low roll resistance as well was getting like 49-51 mpg in the summer before I switched to snow tires.
I have Yokohama Geolandar G015 in 215/70r15 on my 2010 Prius. These were the first set of tires that I had that were quality and I plan to never buy cheaper brands again.
Upgrade them to michellin pilot sports all season worth every penny. More grip for that torque!
My vote is Yokohama G-003 MTs. Aggressive tire, yet has great street manners. I have good things about them in that thick Utah/Northern AZ mud. They are also good in snow.
I got Advan Fleva 87V Yokohama at 5,161 per tire with 5 years warranty.
The Pilot Sport Cup 2's had great grip but are VERY expensive and had a strong tendency to tramline - do not reccommend for the street unless you track the car. The Pilot Sport 4s have better manners on the street in the OEM sizes (305/30R19 & 315/30R19) and are less expensive than the Cup 2's.
The pilot sports are terrible. I burned through my set in 11000 miles.
