Tires YOKOHAMA or MRF
I replaced my OEM Falkein ZIEX tires at exactly 21k miles with some Yokohama Geolandar X-CV's. The new GX's seem to ride fine on them so for my experience with 400 miles on the Geolandars, they have improved ride quality and lowered perceived road noise.
Get some Yokohama Geolander CV4s tires and never have to worry about traction on snow and ice or wearing out winter tires. Best All weather tires you can buy and they’re decent off road. Light weight too. 60k tread wear warranty. I got them on a CX-5 and it’s unstoppable in snow.
2022 Wilderness OB that came with Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 (very good tires--I ordered my car online and it was delivered new) and I just replaced them at 52,000 as they were getting thin.
I’m really happy with their snow performance (geolanders) after 18k miles in all seasons.
So far no issues with these tires at 12k, on my '24 OB. I live in the Bay Area (CA) and go to Tahoe frequently in the winter, the tires are OK in snow but not so bad that I'm gonna upgrade before they're due. They've been fine in pouring rain too.
So far my 2025 Onyx tires have been through crazy heavy rain, snow/ice, and have been great. Also road noise is great.
I just got a set on my '21 Kia K5 GT-Line AWD. They are like night & day vs. the stock Pirelli P-Zero all- season. Much better ride quality, can't even compare wet or snow traction. The only coin that I can see is my mpg has gone down slightly (which may be sure to using remote start almost daily since it's now officially winter in Michigan)
2019 stock tires sounded and handled great but were soft and didn't last long. I was buying new before 35K.
I've got a set of Yokohama tires I use for the summer. Very little wear on them, they've seen about 15,000 km total use, not cracked or dry rotted, stored indoors over the winter. They are however from 2016. This year I started hearing a whine in the front end, sounded a bit like a wheel bearing. On freshly laid asphalt it's silent or nearly so. On older pavement it's louder. On the highway in rain, it got REALLY loud, and I could feel a hum in the pedal. Like, loud enough I slowed to about 80kph as I was worried something was going to let go on the car. Pavement went dry? Went back to the normal "bearing" noise. Theres no shaking or balance issues, they drive true and straight, it's just this noise. Car is a 2011 santa fe, in Canada. I bought the tires new in 2016.
Not only do the sidewalls flex at highway speed when you do a lane change, they track all over the place and feel skittish. I had my front end (Prius V) checked out by a shop that I trust, and they drove it on the highway. They agree that there is an instability with this tire.
