Tires Pirelli or YOKOHAMA
We went with Yokohama AVID Ascend GTs as replacement. They're 5 year 65K warranty tires.
I have never even heard about this brand. I got Yokohama for summer and Bridgestone for winter and they work in wet conditions
Best tire I've ran so far is pirelli night dragons super sticky tire in wet and dry. About same as stockers for lifespan have 15k on my night dragons installed on a road glide and almost due. Actually getting more mileage than the factory Dunlop's they got replaced at 3/32" at 14k
I run Pirelli Sottozero runflats every Winter, mostly highway driving, very happy with them.
I have Perilli Sottozero IIs on my clubman JCW. They’ve been good to me.
I’m 1 month in on my first set of Geolandar AT’s and have had snow up in northern AB for a couple of weeks. Initial observations: love them! They are quieter than either the KO2 or Duratrac. I haven’t noticed any improvement in fuel economy. On snow and ice covered roads though, my early observation is they outperform the other tires I’ve used. All in all, they are meeting my relatively high expectations for them so far.
I had the Geolandars on my 4wd Tacoma when I lived in Alaska. I never got snow tires during winter because I thought I’d be good enough with the Geos. They worked well enough for me, although a couple of times I did slip. Nothing major. I just ended up using my brakes further away from my intended stopping point. In the rain they worked great, never had an issue. Versatile tire without the price point of BFG. Also, the ride on dry highways wasn’t loud and obnoxious, smooth ride imo.
My experience with Pirellis in the past, great wear and performance but horribly noisy after about 20,000 miles, to the point I replaced a set on my old Touareg long before they needed it because they were so annoying.
I was not a fan of these tires in the snow. Never seemed to have an issue getting the car going, but did have the car oversteer and slide in the snow a few times.
I found them to be pretty garbage for traction even on dry pavement, but they were quiet and smooth and lasted very well.
