Tires YOKOHAMA or Kumho
I’m on my 2nd set of Yokohama Advans for my 16GT. Longest lived tires (60k miles +) I’m willing to live with ever.
I’ve been with the Kumho Ecstas and they’ve been a dream. One of the better mid range tires to replace the oem with.
I would go with BF Goodrich KO2s, Falken AT3Ws, Or Yokohama. DO NOT get Goodyears or Mikey Thompsons, Goodyears are about the only tire I commonly replace new, customer buys them, hates them, comes back a week later and replaces them, and Mikey Thompsons, only thing I commonly put them on are people that don’t care about ride quality (People with “Built” Jeep wranglers that are mall crawlers, like they only did exterior mods). The tires I suggested will be on the pricier side but not too bad, they will all last you much longer then cheaper tires would
I put Kumho Crugen HT51 at the advice of a trusted tire guy. They are only a few weeks old but so far so good at the price he got em on for.
Just changed these out in my 2017! 67k miles. I really liked them, but they were unavailable at discount tire so now I’ve got Yokohama somethings.
Yokohama ADVAN Sport A/S actually is quite value for money so to speak.
For road tires I have Yokohama Avid GT on my Impreza and I’ve been very happy with them in the wet and light snow that we get in Memphis (they are a snowflake rated tire).
If you are shopping the 235/65 17 size you can get Yokohama g015 for 160 each. They are great tires loved them on my tacoma. Now I have wrangler AT Kevlar not as good imho
I have the Ascend LX as my summer set but I couldn't quite find a direct comparison talking about the LX compared to the GT The LX's are supposed to have been rated for 85K, but they're already at 6/32s after 25K. Other than that I haven't had much of an issue with them
I found them to be pretty garbage for traction even on dry pavement, but they were quiet and smooth and lasted very well.
