Tires YOKOHAMA or BRIDGESTONE
Bridgestone weather peak is far and away the best all season I've used. Good in the winter & a solid daily driver tire the rest of the year.
Bridgeston are super dourable tho, i got then on my mercedes sprinter generator 3,4 tons and they handle and last well, all seasons aslwell
I went with the Yokohama Avid Ascend GTs. Very similar tire just higher quality than the stock. Replaced my stock Avid GTs at 46k. Up to 58k now and I can say I like them.
You can’t go wrong with Falken RT660s though Yokohama A052s are a hair faster.
I have my second set of Yokohama Geolanders GO15s on my '14. The first set had inconsistent tire wear because I let them go without rotation a little too long. I replaced them at 50k. If they had worn evenly I feel I could have gotten the full 65k out of them.
The road noise and mileage are just as good as the Continentals that came stock on mine. I have that little extra grip on the gravel and dirt back roads.
Bridgestone A005 is exceptional in non-snowy conditions and definitely weaker in snow (but still miles ahead of any summer tyre). It is just tuned more towards mild climate and will get you home safely when you come across snow.
I can, however, recommend some tires that I trust wholeheartedly, and I don't take it easy on my tires. (Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S22) Fantastic grip in rain, dry, hot, or cold.
Factory tyres wore through quickly within around 3 years, but the larger yokohamas I fitted then have barely lost 1mm of tread.
I ran them on my ZX6R up to a fast advanced group pace. Once past that, they started getting a little loose in the turns. It was pretty obvious, nothing surprising, so I had plenty of warning that I was at the limit of the tire.
BEWARE: Failed Yokohama Stock Tire. Ive seen other posts about similar blowouts from primes but didn't pay too much attention since I planned on eventually switching wheels anyways. but this just happened driving 70 on the freeway. They are the stock Yokohama's that came with my 22 Prime.
