Tires Nexen or YOKOHAMA

They faired well, especially uphill. Trusted mechanic buddy said Blizzaks were the way to go, but these Yokohamas made me feel in control and handle well on the clear days

Recently got some Yokohama Avid Ascends after reading some recs on this sub. I like 'em.

Yokohama avid on my xse non-premium as well. We just got our first snow here in Maryland, and it performed exceptionally imo.

Depends how u drive ur car. But if budget not an issue, go for michelin or yokohama.

In August 2020, I had Yokohama Avid Ascend LX installed on the vehicle and I have to say that 2 months later that was the best decision I made to swap the OEM's off. My CRV came back to what it used to be and even better in the driving experience. The road behavior is great, breaking is solid and my gas mileage went way down. Wet driving feel really safe.

I replaced mine with Yokohama YK740 GTX's.

I had a set of Nexen Winguard Sport 2 on my Golf R and had no issues with them in Vancouver, BC winter.

The accuracy improved after I installed new Yokohama 225/60/18 tires. With the stock Giti tires the speedo was showing 1-2mph over the actual speed which I believe was also affecting the MPG accuracy. The speedo is spot-on now with the new "60" series tires.

From what I can gather, the 195/65 14 I have on there now are fairly stiff. Not as stiff as I'd like though. I still get a little plowing fron the front end on some onramps, but maybe a couple more PSI will help that. Of course, what I have to compare it to are a set of Falken Azenis, so really, there is no comparison.

I whole-heartedly un endorse the Yokohama YK580 that Discount Tire sells exclusively. As I said earlier in the thread 2.5 years ago, I put them on both my vehicles and I loved them at first. They drove great and were quiet. But I got nowhere near the 60k warranty on our Passat or Rout. Only got about 30k on the Rout.
