Great tire, long life, smooth quiet. 80MPH, 110mile per day commute no complaints. Decent in snow and rain too (we live in northern NM). We were concerned but they are just as good or better than your average name brand tire.
Yokohama is my choice. They tend to do very well on Hondas. They also last a long time too.
Stock Pirellis were shot, tire shop recommended Sailun. $230 a piece, Irvine, CA.
My quick-take after a week of driving:
* Turning radius at slow speeds seems better than the Pirellis. It’s easier to get into parking spaces.
* Ride feels a bit "harder", more vibrations in the cabin now.
* I charge at home to 70% and only go to work and back. Normally get home at 64% SoC, this week been coming home at 65% SoC.
* Everything else feels the same (for now).
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 can't tell you what to get (not enough time on my Yokohama Geolander X-CV to make an assessment on wear but so far they handle well) but I can tell you what NOT to get. Avoid the Allenzas at all costs.
Same, bought 4 Yokohama tires a while back and ever since they’re making this buzzing noise when driving around 120-140 on the highway. According to the nearby tyre shop it could be because of how the profile on the tires are, Yokohama and so Yokodrama, hence the tyre shop.
