Tires YOKOHAMA or Shinko
Got about 70,000 on my 202p with stock sport Yokohamas. Btw these are NOT snow tires. But they handle great, that's why I purchased a second set.
My wife’s Outback Wilderness came with the Geolander AT and they are true all terrain tires and have been fantastic. Over 65k miles in about 3 and a half years and they still have tread depths of about 6/32 left.
I got 90k miles out of the stock Yokohama geolanders. Put 4 new ones, exact same tires, and got 90k more...
I’m at 54k on the oem geolanders the car came with when I got it. Just had a rotation done, shop is guessing I’ll get through until next winter. ????♂️
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 a set on my 06 corolla. I remember noticing the floating feeling with these. They do last longer than others. Im looking for a bit more stability without breaking the bank.
I my area I could’ve almost gotten four Yokohamas for that price, including mound and balance. So yeah, I think he shafted you.
The worst tire had to be Yokohama geolanders. They would break traction so much in the rain it was terrifying.
