This doesn't apply to you, as you're in California, but my winter tires are Yokohama and they're the best winter tires I've ever had. I've had Michelin, Pirelli, Bridgestone.
Yokohama are best high quality for the $. They cost less than Michelin, continental, etc but perform just as well, imo.
Yokohama is your best bang for the buck on the list. You are never going to be mad about going with the Michelins though.
Wife's focus had the yokohoma blue earth gt, they provided good grip wet or dry....managed to outrun essex police with them on when it was stolen as well.
As far as tyres go, I swear by Yokohama’s.
They can be a little soft and they don’t last forever but I’ve never found the limit of grip and I have a highly modified car and drive like I stole it.
Cheap versus branded - branded will be better everytime. In a small car with little brakes you want the best contact possible.
Ending up going with some Yokohama Geolandar CV G058. Had em for 8 days now. I have noticed my fuel economy is slightly better on the G058s
I have the Yokohama Geolander AT. Great on the road, off road, and in the rain!
I’ve only had snows on my Crosstreks, but have driven on snow with stock tires with a friends Crosstrek. I live in an area that gets about 220 inches of snow a year, plus shoulder seasons of slush and ice. This is how I’d rank them-
Better- Crosstrek on stock- ok
Just swapped my stock Yokohama’s on my XSE with Falken Wildpeaks, these Yokohamas are garbage!!
