To your comment about the GITI tires...my 2019 SE came with them. I've put about 2k miles on the car so far. I have always been a bit of a tire snob, changing OE tires for higher grade ones rather quickly. But I have to admit that these OE tires have really surprised me. They're quiet, smooth, and do the job a small SUV needs. Now, I'll still probably go with a different company when these wear out, but for now I'm satisfied.
After 2 weeks of looking and doing homework. Analysis paralysis? I bought Yokahama YK740 GTX. 225/50/17. So far I like them. I was also looking at the "Continental pro contact" as well but the Yokahama had better ratings. If your into that kinda thing. (I was). The wider tire looks kinda cool too.
We've had significant amounts of rain here in the Denver area with lots of standing water. So far, so good with the Gitis resistance to hydroplaning. No major complaints on these tires having logged about 7K miles in 3 months.
I had minor concerns about these "Giti" tires but they remind me of the Continental Pro Contacts on previous VW's. Handling, noise, traction are all decent for an OEM tire.
Ive noticed that my new 2019 SE has Giti brand tires. So far, they seem fairly quiet and have an acceptable ride and handling. Running recommended 41psi.
I am now running 235/70R17 Yokohama GEOLANDAR A/T G015, gives the car almost 1" of lift, smooth and quiet on the freeway. They weigh 12# more than the stock 215/65R17 and make the car accelerate slower, but they are great on dirt roads.
i have yokohama s drive on my 86. seem good for the cheap price
I had previous versions on my grand Cherokee (31s) and loved them absolutely unstoppable in the snow. and have the current version on my TJ (\"35s\") and love them as well. Not as aggressive looking as the GY MT/RS I had on for a little while before them but much smoother and quieter.
I\u2019ve been really really happy with Yokohama Geolandar AT/S on my Forester. I\u2019m on the second set are great in any setting, and extremely quiet and long wearing for how aggressive they are.
The OE Dunlops on my Fit were trash, the Yokohamas I replaced them with...were also trash.
