Owner reviews for tires

The YK740 GTX and now the YK-GTX are the best tires I've ever owned. They're on a 2011 Prius which came with Pirelli tires and I thought those were great. The Yokohama's surpassed them. I'm closing in on 50,000 miles on the YK740's which were the first ones I bought for the vehicle.

Honda Ridge, had the original roadian htx for first set, they held up great. good in dry and rain, no hydro issues, lasted long time, and decent ride. they can ride a little firm but i also have a Ridge. held air really well.

We have Michelin XIce 3’s on our QX50. No issues climbing Mariner St, Johnson St or David

I have had excellent results with General Altimax tires, absolutely excellent. I’ve used them on five different vehicles (pickup, two SUVs, and two sedans - one RWD, one FWD) since 2014. I currently have a set of RT45s on one of our current vehicles (SUV), and they’re just as good as can be.

If you only drive in snow 2 or 3 times a year, I’d go with the continental cross contact, it’s a quiet, comfortable ride and all around great all season tire, also comes standard of some of the premium Toyotas like the Venza.

If you only drive on snow a handful of days a year, I'd get the Pirellis, they'll be better than the other two most of time.

They are correct, get the Generals! I have a 2002 Mercedes S500 and they are wonderful all season tires. Hold tight around corners at highway speeds and they do well for a rear wheel drive in the rain. I've had the Michelins and Goodyears and the General Altimax are amazing tires and they are a great value for what they are.

I replaced mine after 27k miles and they were DONE, no thread left on any of them. 13k miles later they look very good, but I have also been rotating them (unlike the Kumho ones).

R888Rs don't deserve being called a track tire in my opinion. Decent for the street guys who make power and don't want to replace tires every 2 months, but they can't touch most modern 200TWs. Not to mention they grease up super fast and will fall off halfway through a 20 minute HPDE session.

The R888Rs are a terrible autocross tire, slower than the Super 200s and actually illegal for most street classes. If you are running in a class that allows R-comps, Hoosier A7s will be legal and are in another universe than the R888Rs in terms of grip.
