Tires MICHELIN or YOKOHAMA

Cheap tires are easily damaged plus they don't hold as much air pressure get the best tire you possibly can the Yokohama is actually a really heavy-duty good tire you need a really good heavy duty tire.

For me it’s Michelin only; it’s the only tire where I can tell a difference between other tires

I always do Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.

Junkyard tires for a pizza delivery beater, at 10 bucks each you can't beat it

Yokohama's for the car you care about

My previous set were the Bridgestone Blizzaks. Now, I'm using a set of Michelin X-Ice. I've driven around the city and as far as Whistler/Big White (I used to go Cypress 3-4 times a week too during the winter). Blizzaks were a beast in heavy snow. But I think for what you're looking for, I would just go with the X-Ice. They're really quiet and the ride is really comfortable.

I live in Michigan and use Yokohama Avid Ascend GT tires year around. Been great so far!

From personal experience on small sporty cars:

1. Yokohama Advan

With that said, those Yokes are fantastic. The wet grip on those is unbelievable, especially for a touring tire. The handling was a bit loose, but that is typical of a touring tire that isn’t Michelin.

I had them on my Previous two cars (Acura TL, BMW 328xi coupe) and they were great. However, they wore pretty quickly and in my opinion weren't worth the $900 I spent on them.

I still doubt it's the tires, although they are All season's Yokohama Avid H4S
