Tires YOKOHAMA or DUNLOP
Best bang for your buck is the Dunlop RoadSmart III. You should be able to get 6k+ miles. And they’re plenty sticky enough for spirited riding in all but expert track conditions.
in the end I ended up installing the stock tires Dunlop AT22 which are the best
I'm planning to try the Dunlop Ensave in 195/65R15 because its the only eco focused tire in that size I can find that weighs under 17lbs.
The stock dunlops are actually a pretty good summer tire, they just wear fast, but their grip in the dry once they warm up is pretty good.
I have Yokohama geolanders with the semi-aggressive tread. Set at 36 psi, and I get about 20 mpg backroads and highway. Lower the psi and hit the trails if I need. Plus I like the white lettering....
Yokohama Geolanders have always been my go-to. From a 92 Chevy to an 01 Ford, when I need to replace my stock tires, that's what I plan. Great long life, an amazing grip, and can handle some dirt and light mud.
Ad09 is a fantastic tire for your use case, I used to run nankang ar1, now I run ado9 and it's a great tire.
Nothing is wrong with your car, it's your tires. I have Yokohama Avid Ascend GT's on a Subaru and Civic and they both make the same exact humming noise. It's these tires. They're cheap tires (price wise), decent traction in dry an wet and even a little snow, but I guess Yokohama couldn't figure out the tread design to make them less noisy.
Mine came with dunlops and all four had to be replaced after about 16k due to dry rot.
Had them on my F250 and they did not last long at all. Looked cool tho and loud as hell.
