Tires YOKOHAMA or MRF
Parents 2018 Forester got ~65k miles on stock Yokohama tires with regular rotations and replaced them with a bit over 3/32” left on them.
I bought the Yokohama BlueEarth winter tires. They worked great. They also meet the traction requirements for things like mountain passes. I didn't notice any change in gas mileage. During COVID we weren't driving much so I just left them on all year and didn't have any issues.
I've put Yokohama Advan Sport A/S on an E39, a 996, a Z4, and my current 986; I've been very happy with them every time. They're usually a little cheaper than other big name brand tires, they're quiet, and they have plenty of grip for our cars.
I took the 996 and E39 to autox and I had to really push the Yokohamas to get them to start slipping.
I have the Yokohamas and I was surprised at how quiet they were
BRAND NEW Yokohama AdvanSport+ A/S tires (Yokohama’s equivalent to Michelin’s Pilot Sport 4 A/S) with less than 600 miles on the tires - no real maintenance (outside of oil changes & tire rotations) needed on this bad boy until at least reaching 105k miles!!
I wholeheartedly endorse yokohamas. OEMish weight, excellent in nasty weather and no excessive noise driving
Nothing but good luck so far.
Yokohama ad08rs on my Miata. The other is very good for fast driving, but it doesn't last long and is very not good in the wet
Mine was mrf and did not have a good experience. Within 1 month 4k km run tire burst in a simple pot hole with 33 psi air pressure
I have the same make and model and these tires are absolute crud. In the 15 months I’ve had the vehicle it’s gotten holes in these tires FOUR TIMES; most recently last week while in Vermont and they insisted this time it couldn’t be patched and that they had to order the exact tire from a regional warehouse overnight.
