I drive a 2015 Fit with Avid Ascend GT tires. It can handle the midwest snow just fine. My last set of 4 lasted me a little over 36k miles / 4.5 years with some poor road conditions in the city and lots of highway driving.
I have Yokohama Avid Ascend GTs on my 15. I have 195/55R16s and I don't want to go any wider than that.
My experience with them has been very positive. They have more than enough lateral grip for autocross and tearing up back roads, but are still solid feeling in the frequent rainstorms of the east coast. And while we don't get that much snow where I am, it handles that well enough as well.
My avid ascends have been great for the last couple runs. I am at 225k miles almost. Had three pair. Only complaint is that I didn't get very near the advertised warranty mileage. More like 50k per set.
I bought the cheapest tires I could and drove like 1500 miles every 2 weeks... South Texas to New Mexico oilfield
Couldn't be more pleased though as a general rule sport "summer" tires generally don't do as well in the rain as all seasons so be warned... they were fine but not as good as the yokohama all seasons they replaced
Just got a new set of tires last week. Went with Yokohama Advance Sport A/S on my 2021 XSE. Very happy with the performance on dry and wet.
I like the geolanders on my wilderness.
I remember back in the day getting a set of 352's because I liked how they looked and Butler Tire had a discount on them, mine weren't so wide though, just 195/60 --- the review below is accurate, they were LOUD on asphalt but good in the wet and excellent on dirt/gravel, had them on a Saab 900 that I'd take offroad quite a bit.
yokohama geolandar g95a On a Subaru for 5 years, no problems, but light winter driving.
I am considering two options with one of them being a T rated tire. However, it has deeper treads and it is actually a known brand. I know that a T rated tire will decrease performance and safety but is it worth it over an unknown brand?
2020 XT, I had Yoko Geolandars, now Nokian Outpost APT both 3peak rated, neither are as good as my Yoko IceGuard winter tires in snow/ice or cold weather.
