I’ve come to like Yokohama tires enough I’d take them over continental tires any day.
Once my Yokohama geo lander tires are done I’m sticking to them for my 23 fozzy wilderness
Yokohama Avid Ascend GT.
Here are some excerpts from reviews:

"How is it over wet and slippery roads? As far as the Avid Ascend GT is good on dry tarmac, it might be even better on wet and slippery roads. Relatively, of course. I find the Yokohama to be outstandingly good in resisting hydroplaning – the car remains controllable even in puddles of water. Also, the advanced tread compound pays dividends on damp surfaces, where the Avid Ascend GT holds itself extremely well. Overall, this is one of the safest and easiest grand-touring tires to drive in the rain. . . .
"Is it comfortable and refined? You bet it is! This is one of the quietest tires I’ve tried recently, improving the refinement of almost any vehicle you put it on. That’s true even at very high speeds, and for cars that don’t have that much noise insulation. On top of that, the ride quality with a set of Avid Ascend GT tires will be sublime. Smaller imperfections on the road are almost completely eaten by the Yokohama, while the larger potholes are tempered with aplomb. This is perhaps the biggest reason why you would opt for a set of these tires – they are outstandingly comfortable over any surface you encounter."
Overall the Outback performed better than I expected with 4 occupants and a trailer, however I wouldn’t want to tow any more then 1500 pounds for the distance I traveled. Acceleration was obviously impacted but not as much as I feared, the 2.5i does have enough power for the load I was putting it under. At really high elevations and fairly steep grades I did have to decrease my speed to keep my RPM’s down
thanks for the tip, will keep these in mind. my original hankook tyres and 19" were giving such harsh ride I've [downsized to 18" with Yokohama All Terrain](https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModelY/comments/15fb1m8/downsized_tyres/), but now I'm thinking of giving these a go on my 19" original alloy too for summer perhaps!
Anyway, on my 2022 Elantra Hybrid Limited, I replaced the stock wheels and tires with 15" aluminum wheels and Yokohama Avid Ascend GT 195/65R15 to improve ride quality and durability (pothole resistance).
I have gotten great wear out of Yokohama Avid Ascend GT on my Model 3, and it appears to fit the 19” Y as well.
Have a pajero. I just put Yokohama Geolander HT and they are quite nice. Not very loud. Good grip and decent tread pattern to perform offroad as well.
A friend of mine has those Yokohamas and is pleased with their performance. But he says they are exceptionally loud on certain types of pavement and quiet on others. Aside from the overall noise, he is pleased with them.
Two major alignments on my 22 Outback Premium 16,000 miles and the tires need replacing, under warranty sir thanks, I was told yeah that’s typical with the Yokohama’s?
