Tires YOKOHAMA or BRIDGESTONE

As far as tyres go, I swear by Yokohama’s.

They can be a little soft and they don’t last forever but I’ve never found the limit of grip and I have a highly modified car and drive like I stole it.

Cheap versus branded - branded will be better everytime. In a small car with little brakes you want the best contact possible.

Got 4 new Bridgestone two years ago for about $500

With balance. Free tire rotations and patch job. Don’t buy junk. They are rated for 50-60K. Driven maybe 30k have 5 mm tread depth left even mostly city driving.

Ending up going with some Yokohama Geolandar CV G058. Had em for 8 days now. I have noticed my fuel economy is slightly better on the G058s

RS11's are amazing tires, used them before going to slicks. For road use the don't last that long though.

There's also the Bridgestone WeatherPeak, which is priced like the Michelin CrossClimate, but it seems like it has better snow and ice traction.

I have the Yokohama Geolander AT. Great on the road, off road, and in the rain!

I like Bridgestone Potenza RE003. Great dry grip and excellent wet grip.

I have the original 20” Bridgestones on my 21, with about 20k miles. Should be good for another 5k or so. Not great tires, but fairly typical OEM tires for me.

A very poor tire, I think if you treat them as summer tires and put on winters or good all season + 3PMSF tires like Michelin Crossclimate 2s, you'll be much happier in the snow.
