Tires YOKOHAMA or Goodyear
Junkyard tires for a pizza delivery beater, at 10 bucks each you can't beat it
Yokohama's for the car you care about
Michelin X-Ice if you can afford them, otherwise I swear by the Goodyear Nordics as the best affordable option and even what I prefer myself over the X-Ice.
I live in Michigan and use Yokohama Avid Ascend GT tires year around. Been great so far!
From personal experience on small sporty cars:
1. Yokohama Advan
I had Duratracs on my Tacomas when I lived in the Denver area. They were reliable on and off road and handled well in all conditions. They were a little noisy when they wore down, but what 33's arent'?
With that said, those Yokes are fantastic. The wet grip on those is unbelievable, especially for a touring tire. The handling was a bit loose, but that is typical of a touring tire that isn’t Michelin.
The yokohamas are probably your best bet, theyre some of the best tires on the market especially given their price. Pirellis are overrated as fuck and are not needed unless youre racing on a track, and they wear out extremely fast. Continentals are definitely the second best choice, especially if youre looking for a summer tire or something very grippy.
The only weak spot were the tires. The OEM Yokohamas inspired zero confidence so they were removed and sold. The cars is super comfortable, uses regular gas and the clutch/Shifter feel are great. LED lighting is a really nice touch as well
A friend of mine has those Yokohamas and is pleased with their performance. But he says they are exceptionally loud on certain types of pavement and quiet on others. Aside from the overall noise, he is pleased with them.
Yesterday we had to buy 4 new tires because the OEM Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure with Kevlar tires which had a 60k limited warranty (they can't honor) were bald after just 30k road driving... anyone had a similar experience ?
