Tires YOKOHAMA or Cooper

I have a set on a Celica. Been driving in Melbourne weather and have yet to have a problem.

I would seriously consider the Yokohama Geolandar x-cv. I replaced the crap falkens around 31k miles, have about 22k on the yokos and they are fantastic. They also still look and drive new, probably will get 50-60k out of them. They ride very smooth

if you are looking for superior ride quality, Yokohoma does the job as well.

I've been impressed with Cooper Discoverer Road + Trail. I had the stock Goodyear Wrangler's and they were scary in the winter. Just got the Coopers on a few weeks ago and they have been great.

I have the Yoko geolandar g018 on my 22' in MT. I just switched to my winter studs for the ice on BZN pass, but otherwise the Yokohamas were doing great in the snow.

I'm running yoko geolander A/Ts at the moment, the side walls are much stiffer than the last tires I was running which were BF Goodrich vantage controls, which imo were solid all season tires. The geos don't make much road noise and have performed very well in the snow.

I've only ever used Yokohama Avid Ascend GT. They're on the quieter side.

They’re….not great. I went through a few not especially bad Detroit winters on them. Weren’t dangerously bad, but I still felt more in control in my old FWD Malibu with snow tires than I did with AWD and those tires. Running CrossClimates now but no snow yet. Stay tuned.

It happened to my dad when he bought cooper tires. I'd like to avoid other brands that have dented sidewalls.

Be careful with Coopers. Their QC is abysmal. I just took off a brand new set of Road & Trails, about 600 miles on them. Wouldn’t balance and the thread was coming through the sidewall on one of them.
