Tires YOKOHAMA or VITOUR
Vitour P1 for a long lasting 200tw that's only a hair behind the Hoosier. They also handle heat well, and come in some creative sizes
The OEM Geolanders that came on my '18 Crosstrek were the best tires I have ever owned and I always purchased Michelin or Continentals. I went back to Michelins because the Geolanders were 20% higher. The Michelins are no longer the benchmark of tires.
Had yokohoma gelolander gt, they rode really smoothly.
Thinking about putting them as “summer” tires for my ram.
I have them on my 2015, 16k miles in and no complaints. I had Michelin LTX A/T2s which lasted me nearly 90k miles. I switched to the Yokos because tirerack rated them better than the michelins in every category, and they are 3 peak mountain snowflake rated, while the michelins aren't.
I’m on my third set of 10ply G015. I love them. Good traction in most conditions and great mileage. Keep them rotated to keep them quiet.
My 15 has Yokohama Avid Ascent GTs in 195/55R16. The wet handling has been really good in my experience.
I changed from Ko2 to Geolanders. It's been working great for me.
as a tire, they seem slightly dubious as far as the 200tw rating goes (although a052s are super low-duro too). they don't work well on heavy cars and from a buddy who runs them in practice/at non-scca events, they seem to overheat/slide a lot (corresponds to what the GRM article states). but they for sure are quick.
Yokohama sucks. There's a reason a lot of cars come with them. Cheap. Don't last.
