Tires Pirelli or YOKOHAMA

I got mine with the pirelli summers which are great.

My buddy has P Zero Winter on his S4

and he likes them. I have Yokohama BluEarth Winter V905 and they are nice but the sidewall is not as stiff as the Pirellis. Still happy with them though.

I always used Yokohama, but that was on a dodge Dakota. I love Yokohama tires personally

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.

P-Zeros are probably a bit softer and won’t give you as much life but better grip…

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.

This is a bit of an old thread, but I use these on my 07 civic. The tires themselves are very capable (30k miles on them now, and I'm looking to replace them, so somewhat underwhelming tread life.) When I push the limits of traction, they are very predictable and feel confident, even in rainy conditions. I get lots of road noise, but that's almost certainly due to the car itself, not the tires.

I just replaced the stock Firestone Destination LE 2's on my 2019 Ridgeline AWD after 48,000 miles... I've put about 800 miles on this new set and I'm bummed. They are quiet and handle fine, but it seems like I feel every imperfection in the road and it seems overly harsh over rough roads.

The stock Pirellis are trash, and the low profile is why they keep bubbling up.
