Tires YOKOHAMA or Firestone
I thought the tires that came on the Wilderness were great in the snow for the first year at least. I live in Wisconsin
I've only driven on them for 30 miles but holy crap are these things amazing. These winters grip better in the cold than the crappy Firestone summers my car came on grip the warm. I'm able to launch a 0-60 with minimal wheel spin and without chirping the tires on the 1-2 shift. These are also softer and quieter than any Blizzaks or X-Ice Snows I've had. They're soft and squishy and compliant. They give a great ride and still retain some steering feedback.
yokohama tires, work there. can assure you they don't skimp on quality. ????
Knocked back a PB at both track events on these. At VIR last weekend they were great. Very predictable and tons of grip. Shot for 34-ish hot. -2.7 camber up front. Turned on reasonably quick on out lap. I rotate each day (front to back, back to front cross). Would recommend 10/10.
Had some true dedicated winters (Yoko Iceguards). Ice , snow, it would just go. Gave me piece of mind.
I had some Yokohama Geolandar at/4s on my xterra and tundra and I love(d) them. They still give the look while keeping the noise down in my expirience .
I've had a FWD Corolla for 12 years and it has gotten me through the worst kind of storms in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and here in NL with Firestone Winterforce tires. I swear by them! I've gotten through conditions in snow storms that even big jacked up 4 wheel drive trucks got stuck in.
I had the Yokohama Bluearth es32 for 5 years. Grabe mag chipping yan so take that into account. It's a known issue with how the model is manufactured.
The es32 is a good tyre, good performance, talagang chipping lang nakaka dismaya. (tyres are regularly checked, car wheel is well aligned, rotated every 6 mos)
Don't go for yokohama advan fleva. Bad grip + noisy.
Just got these on my wife's cx5 and yeah they didn't feel much better than the blizzaks we just removed. Then she texted over the weekend to say they're the loudest tires she's ever had and the road noise is terrible.
