Tires YOKOHAMA or DUNLOP
For a cruising around/daily tire, no spirited driving, the Yokohamas Avid-S I've put on my girlfriend's Yaris are the most amazing touring tires I've ever driven on.
I got a good deal on some Yokohama advan apex v601, I got like 5k miles on them and love them so far
I have had the Trailmax Missions on my R1250GS for over a year and 8k miles. Really great adventure tire, decent offroad, great on the road and lasts.
Good ride, above average dry traction, hasn’t rained, above average mountain handling, not as quiet as Michelin or Continental at highway speed, but I got to keep some money I’d have spent otherwise.
Yokos are also a good choice and are good for more daily driving and highway driving and also last a long time
I like the Yoko Geolanders on my wife's Touareg that we use as dedicated snow tires. They are almost as quiet as the summer all seasons and are good enough in snow.
Yokohama Advan Sport A/S 245-45-19. Stock is 225-45-19. They fit well and the performance difference over stock is very noticeable (handles much better).
I went with the Yoko Geolanders. They are quieter than the Michelins that they replaced, but my gas mileage has dropped like 5%.
I absolutely hated the stock gpr-300s on my ninja. In the dry they worked fine (only lowsided twice in a parking lot from trying to make the smallest possible circles), but I slid out constantly in the wet (thankfully never crashed) at normal lean angles and not very much throttle. I replaced them after about 4k miles.
About 2 years ago I had 4 Dunlop Conquest Touring tires installed on my 2015 Passat. About 5 months ago, less than 15,000 miles we noticed a groaning sound coming from the passenger side rear. I had all 4 tires rotated and now the noise is coming from the passenger side front. This was more annoying than having the groaning noise come from the rear so we had them rotated back again. The \"dealer\" said it was due to cupping and that's common with Dunlop.
