This doesn't apply to you, as you're in California, but my winter tires are Yokohama and they're the best winter tires I've ever had. I've had Michelin, Pirelli, Bridgestone.
Yokohama are best high quality for the $. They cost less than Michelin, continental, etc but perform just as well, imo.
Yokohama is your best bang for the buck on the list. You are never going to be mad about going with the Michelins though.
Wife's focus had the yokohoma blue earth gt, they provided good grip wet or dry....managed to outrun essex police with them on when it was stolen as well.
As far as tyres go, I swear by Yokohama’s.
They can be a little soft and they don’t last forever but I’ve never found the limit of grip and I have a highly modified car and drive like I stole it.
Cheap versus branded - branded will be better everytime. In a small car with little brakes you want the best contact possible.
Ending up going with some Yokohama Geolandar CV G058. Had em for 8 days now. I have noticed my fuel economy is slightly better on the G058s
I have the Yokohama Geolander AT. Great on the road, off road, and in the rain!
Just got them replaced with Yokohamas this week and got a similar warranty refund on them. It’s absurd that they only made it to 10K miles, but I love the car so much I’m not complaining much about it.
I was not a fan of these tires in the snow. Never seemed to have an issue getting the car going, but did have the car oversteer and slide in the snow a few times.
