Tires YOKOHAMA or Cooper

I bought the avid ascend gt tires about 2 weeks ago. Quiet and smooth ride so far. Comparable to my previous Michelin tires.

They faired well, especially uphill. Trusted mechanic buddy said Blizzaks were the way to go, but these Yokohamas made me feel in control and handle well on the clear days

Recently got some Yokohama Avid Ascends after reading some recs on this sub. I like 'em.

Yokohama avid on my xse non-premium as well. We just got our first snow here in Maryland, and it performed exceptionally imo.

Depends how u drive ur car. But if budget not an issue, go for michelin or yokohama.

My coopers have always worked amazingly well in the snow, and are quite affordable if timed right with rebates.

In August 2020, I had Yokohama Avid Ascend LX installed on the vehicle and I have to say that 2 months later that was the best decision I made to swap the OEM's off. My CRV came back to what it used to be and even better in the driving experience. The road behavior is great, breaking is solid and my gas mileage went way down. Wet driving feel really safe.

I replaced mine with Yokohama YK740 GTX's.

I have been buying Cooper tires for years on some of my cars so I would recommend at least looking at Cooper CS5, a good tire at a fare price

My experience with the Cooper AT3:

2011 Land Rover LR4. I Put about 50k miles on the set in 2 years. No punctures.

* Excellent on road manners

* Quiet, smooth.

* Even tread ware

* AWFUL (I.E. not safe) Snow and ice performance

* Poor mud traction, poor gravel traction, mehh wet traction.
