Tires Nexen or YOKOHAMA
Im using Yokohama Geolander A/T 015 rightnnow and they're pretty good at taking small bumps, providing a good ride and maintaining bettee than average grip at turning. Was a good ride.
Road noise isn't bad.
I was Super curious about these tires because they look good and second was was the fact that the hybrid community was giving high praise to these tires. 1. They look great ???? 2. The efficiency is indeed high. I went from 3.7mi/kwh to a solid 4mi/kwh. I really like these tires now. The reviews were no joke. These tires have better "range" than the Michelin Energy Saver that they replaced. Some people look down on these "off-brand" tires as they want something more expensive and a name brand. These tires are just fine.
I had a set on a 2006 Mini Cooper sjcw 215 40 17s now the ride was harsh and stiff but let me tell you you hit a turn you'll come out of it with the biggest shit eating grin on your face you ever could think of. For the price I'd call it a best bang for your buck tire so since you got them drive them you'll see they're pretty good.
My buddy has P Zero Winter on his S4
and he likes them. I have Yokohama BluEarth Winter V905 and they are nice but the sidewall is not as stiff as the Pirellis. Still happy with them though.
Last set of tires I bought were by Nexen.... pretty good tire, wore well.... got about 36k on them, will be due for new in the fall.
I always used Yokohama, but that was on a dodge Dakota. I love Yokohama tires personally
This doesn't apply to you, as you're in California, but my winter tires are Yokohama and they're the best winter tires I've ever had. I've had Michelin, Pirelli, Bridgestone.
Yokohama are best high quality for the $. They cost less than Michelin, continental, etc but perform just as well, imo.
Just got them replaced with Yokohamas this week and got a similar warranty refund on them. It’s absurd that they only made it to 10K miles, but I love the car so much I’m not complaining much about it.
Yokohama iceGuard : Garbage winter tires, still better than any all season
