Tires Nexen or YOKOHAMA

Yokohama avid ascend GTs. Get them on tire rack and have a trusted local shop instal them. I had Michelin pilot sports on my mk6 from Costco and these are better and cheaper. They’re also fantastic in the rain.

I have only used their previous version, Winguard Sports. Can't complain about them. They are a performance winter, so snow and ice won't be as good as a Xice Xi3, blizzak ws-80 or Hakkapeliitta tire

I've only used the original winguard sports. Can't complain for the price and it's purpose. They never let me down in a blizzard...

I’ve been running a set of Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 in factory dimensions year round on my 3.6. They perform pretty damn well in the snow, great in the rain, awesome off road, and they’re quiet.

Only after 3 months replaced with Yokohama Advan Sport A/S.

Current review on them is:

Dry pavement: A+ (I can take turns like a race driver on bare pavement and still feel safe)

Wet Pavement: B (Only problem I’ve had starting aggressively is on wet pavement with road markings on them, seems good on corners and doesn’t hydroplane on really wet pavement, but loses traction with hard braking on very wet pavement)

Roughish Roads: A- (my car has low clearance and low profile tires but got by easily on FS roads with medium rocks and being careful. It gets the minus because after driving 75 miles on semi rough FS roads and getting back to pavement, I pulled to the side of the highway and had a metal chunk lodge into the sidewall ruining the tire)

I went from some random tires (Achilles or something) to Yoko AD08rs and yeah those were amazing. So much better on Khanacross and back roads

I had a set of those in 31x10.5x15. I really liked them. I kept the pressures around 25-27 psi had them for almost 30k miles.

After 2 weeks of looking and doing homework. Analysis paralysis? I bought Yokahama YK740 GTX. 225/50/17. So far I like them. I was also looking at the "Continental pro contact" as well but the Yokahama had better ratings. If your into that kinda thing. (I was). The wider tire looks kinda cool too.

I had 205-5015 khumos 712 esctas on 15x7 and they where wonderfull now I have yokohama YK420 195-50-15 they are fair and grip just fine for H rated tires...

I have some Nexen tires on a Kia Optima and all four are "out of round" with only 17k Miles. Like riding on square block. Crappy tires!
