Tires YOKOHAMA or DUNLOP
I got 90k miles out of the stock Yokohama geolanders. Put 4 new ones, exact same tires, and got 90k more...
I’m at 54k on the oem geolanders the car came with when I got it. Just had a rotation done, shop is guessing I’ll get through until next winter. ????♂️
Parents 2018 Forester got ~65k miles on stock Yokohama tires with regular rotations and replaced them with a bit over 3/32” left on them.
I bought the Yokohama BlueEarth winter tires. They worked great. They also meet the traction requirements for things like mountain passes. I didn't notice any change in gas mileage. During COVID we weren't driving much so I just left them on all year and didn't have any issues.
I've put Yokohama Advan Sport A/S on an E39, a 996, a Z4, and my current 986; I've been very happy with them every time. They're usually a little cheaper than other big name brand tires, they're quiet, and they have plenty of grip for our cars.
I took the 996 and E39 to autox and I had to really push the Yokohamas to get them to start slipping.
I have the Yokohamas and I was surprised at how quiet they were
BRAND NEW Yokohama AdvanSport+ A/S tires (Yokohama’s equivalent to Michelin’s Pilot Sport 4 A/S) with less than 600 miles on the tires - no real maintenance (outside of oil changes & tire rotations) needed on this bad boy until at least reaching 105k miles!!
I have the same set of tires and have noticed when my driveway is wet or icy it gets a little squirrelly. I did drive in a snow storm the other day and they did pretty decent, no complaints but they do kinda suck on the ice.
Don't go for yokohama advan fleva. Bad grip + noisy.
Did a bunch of research and ended up with Yokohama avid ascend GT. Reviews were good, dry and wet performance were all great, I only saw some negatives about wear being quicker and 1 Reddit comment about how bad it handed.
That Reddit comment was right. On center it was the most vague I could turn the steering wheel a few inches and feel nothing. It felt like it was drifting at times as if it were gusting.
