Tires YOKOHAMA or BFGoodrich

Ive had BF Goodrich KO2's on my trailblazer for 15yrs, really like them.

I just purchased new Yokohama @ $230 each. I didn't notice a difference in sound and still getting the same 3.2 kwh as OEM Dunlops. With 11/32 depth, my Ariya handles better with the Yokohamas.

That 3.5L V6 is buttery smooth and powerful — proper sleeper sedan feel.

Cabin’s still super comfy, feels premium even today.

Reliable engine if maintained right, and new Yokohamas are a good sign someone cared.

You’ll definitely stand out — not many V6s left running around.

It drinks fuel like crazy. Expect 5–6 km/l in city, maybe 9 on highways if you drive easy.

Honda never sold too many V6s, so some parts can be pricey or take time to source.

The timing belt change is expensive (₹50–70k job with labour and water pump).

Regular service at a good garage will be around ₹15–20k; authorised service centers will charge more.

VCM (cylinder deactivation) can act up — oil burning or misfires if not maintained properly.

Suspension and mounts wear faster due to weight; replacements are expensive.

Low resale — not many buyers for a thirsty V6, so you’ll have to love it enough to keep it.

Big car in tight cities — parking and ground clearance can be annoying.

Insurance and taxes higher due to engine size (>3L category).

Heat management — some owners complain about heat soak in slow traffic; check radiator and fan condition.

BF Goodrich All Terrain KO's. Go with the LT sizes and you'll easily get 70,000 miles before you'll need to start thinking about replacing them.

Replaced them with BFGoodrich from Costco at $1550 and getting a good ride with them. 65k warranty.

I run Yokohama V701 225/45 R18 and I'm really happy with them.

Sincer eu am fost foarte mulțumit de BFGoodrich G-FORCE WINTER2 sunt puse pe un mitsubishi lancer VII (normal nu evo) de 4 ani. Iarna trecută pur si simplu parcam pe locuri care nu erau deszăpezite fara niciun stres nu am reușit sa rămân înzăpezit chiar am încercat.

Sunt putin zgomotoase la accelerare dar la cat de bine se descurca pe zăpadă si pe noroi chiar nu contează pentru mine.

The main thing I didn't like about the A052 is the soft sidewall and overall life. I think it's probably the stickiest 200tw tire, better suited for lighter cars, but for my heavy ass Camaro I chewed through the a052 in half the time of RE71r, mostly because I was driving them wrong. I tend to push a little past the grip level from the front on corner entry, it wasn't too big and issue with the RE71r with the stiff sidewall and stiffer compound, but driving like that with the a052 which feels incredibly soft and gummy, I shredded through the shoulders of the tread quick, even with -3.3 front camber.

My worst were Bfg km2s. I have loved every Bfg tire I’ve had, but I got a set of km2s and got rid of them in 6 months. The wear life was bad, they were loud as hell, and they didn’t have a comfortable ride.

BF Goodrich KO2 was the worst for me on my Tacoma. Handled horribly in the snow, even with three 60 lb sandbags in the back, and never felt planted on wet roads.
