Tires YOKOHAMA or Cooper

I’ve had coopers before and have been very pleased with them

Wife's focus had the yokohoma blue earth gt, they provided good grip wet or dry....managed to outrun essex police with them on when it was stolen as well.

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.

Pep Boys has a relatively cheap Cooper tire exclusive to them. They last forever. Definitely touring tires, they're made to last and to be ideal in all conditions. I'll go back to the Cooper Adventurers next round of tires and probably here on out, highly recommended.

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

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

For as much time as you spend on the freeway I would 100% go with the Discoverer AT3s! Such a dope tire! Superb road manners, ultra quiet, and awesome capabilities when you push them!

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 was not a fan of these tires in the snow. Never seemed to have an issue getting the car going, but did have the car oversteer and slide in the snow a few times.
