We ran those Nexens for a few years on a Ford Focus RS AWD in winter and it's a solid tire... The Michelin is a better tire especially on ice, but for $150 less I would take the Nexens again. This is in ND, so winters can get pretty extreme and they perform well.
Thinking about putting them as “summer” tires for my ram.
I have them on my 2015, 16k miles in and no complaints. I had Michelin LTX A/T2s which lasted me nearly 90k miles. I switched to the Yokos because tirerack rated them better than the michelins in every category, and they are 3 peak mountain snowflake rated, while the michelins aren't.
I’m on my third set of 10ply G015. I love them. Good traction in most conditions and great mileage. Keep them rotated to keep them quiet.
My 15 has Yokohama Avid Ascent GTs in 195/55R16. The wet handling has been really good in my experience.
I changed from Ko2 to Geolanders. It's been working great for me.
I just put Yokohama Advan Sport A/S+ on, and so far they have been great. Not as expensive as Pilot Sport 4s, but definitely not cheap, either. I’m less than 1k miles in, but I like them a lot so far.
I bought a set of Yokohamas once for our 07 Prius and noticed a very similar result as well. Tires were dead quiet though, but not worth the cost for us so we switched.
Yokohama sucks. There's a reason a lot of cars come with them. Cheap. Don't last.
IMO those tires were bottom of the barrel. I would just replace.
