Tires Nexen or YOKOHAMA
On 2nd set of Yokohama advans. Much better than OEMs
Am running Yoko's Apex Summer Tires. Very pleased on my 2017 Touring.
I've had some Yokohama AVID Ascend GT's on mine for about a year and a half with no complaints.
my second set of 205 50 r16 Ascends are doing great at 176k on my similar 2015 EX. Love those tires.
I love my Geolandar's which came with the car. They do everything well. I do a lot of driving 10 to 40 mph over the speed limit. I would not hesitate to get them again. People always criticize whatever tires that came with their new cars but in this case not true.
Yokohoma Geolander X-AT. I've had them on a bunch of different vehicles.
I'm still running the geolandars on my wilderness. So far I love them no issues at all. Wprked great in the snow this winter and so far so good running them aired down on fire roads and some riverbeds etc. Not to mention quiet and smooth on road
With only a few hundred miles on them my experience has been very good with the Yokohama Advans. They are very nimble and have almost instant feedback when cornering, a big plus for me. Fairly quiet at highway speeds, and only slightly harsh.
I have the N5000's on my Classix for my Summer wheels, They are OK, Feel better than the stock Contis on the steelies I use in the winter But not the best in the Wet, If its rainning, I can easily get them to spin.... When they wear, I probably won't buy them again . . . J
So, my buddy has a Mk2 Supra. He has so many cars, this one lives at my house. When he first bought the car 4 years ago, it had been sitting for a while, and the tires were shot, so he had tires-easy send a set of Nexen N3000's in close to the original size to North Carolina, had them installed so that he could drive back to Pittsburgh. So, we took the car to Hershey at the beginning of last year, and the tires have not covered that many miles since purchase, so three years of mild summer driving. They started to vibrate BAD after we started back. At first, we could not figure out what in the hell was wrong, so we stopped, and the tire had a HUGE bulge in the middle of the tread. Once again, in the middle of the tread. So, we had to throw on the 30 year old spare, a Dunlop SP3000 that looked comically old. So we started off again, and less than 10 miles later, it started to vibrate terribly again. Thinking that the spare was dying, we were stuck in a single lane cattle pen on the PA Turnpike, and were limping it at 35 until we could get to an emergency pull off. We were just about to pull it over after it crossed back over to the end of the construction zone, and BLAM! We pulled over to find the OTHER N3000 on the rear axle had **** the bed, actually blowing out the center of the tread. It looked like the belts had all just blown out of the hole. We had to wait 6 hours for a tow truck for a 4 hour tow home. It sucked. He found a couple of used tires at a place down the street from him, some old Grand Am brand tires to tide him over until he could replace all of them with a decent tire. So, after a couple of shows and sitting at my house again, I took it to Youngstown to get snow tires for my wife's new Fiesta, about an hour away, and........WHOOMP WHOOMP WHOOMP....the third out of four started to bulge in the middle. So on went the old Dunlop spare, which got me home. I wouldn't buy Nexens again if you paid me, and I had N5000's on my truck for a couple of years, kinda liked them. BUT NEVER AGAIN.
