Tires YOKOHAMA or Firestone

The Geolanders are my favorite, I don't do much off road or inclement weather for that matter any more but I love the way they stick to the road.

I've enjoyed Yokos on a Sienna AWD for the ride comfort. Driving is 95% city/hwy, 5% gentle offroad (graded forest roads, snow <6", etc.) They tend to get a little noisey as they are at their last 20% of life and a full life is closer to 50k mi than the rated 60k.

I have Yokohama advan sport as on my G. Love them so far

I have Yokohamas on my QX50. Over 700 treadwear

Therefore Firestone builds a tire that doesn't require tire blankets to have a safe level of performance.

A set of studded Firestone winterforce..

7 seasons and still great.

I have been driving all sorts of cars for 30 years and I have NEVER met a tire that is as well behaved on dry, wet, and snowy roads. I was all in on that statement, but the Yokohama Geolander has made me rethink that.

It does everything I need it to do.

Dry - The tire is precise, predictable, and quiet. It feels like I could panic swerve and the tire would not turn to mush.

Wet - I have never felt the tire nearing departure.

Snow - Even at near end of life, at 6/32ths of an inch, it did really well.

I’ve got the Geolandars on mine. They are great in the rain and smooth on tarmac at highway speeds. Haven’t had my snow to test with.

Just got them replaced with Yokohamas this week and got a similar warranty refund on them. It’s absurd that they only made it to 10K miles, but I love the car so much I’m not complaining much about it.

I found them to be pretty garbage for traction even on dry pavement, but they were quiet and smooth and lasted very well.
