Tires YOKOHAMA or GENERAL TIRE

Yokohama S drives are pretty cheap now since they are an "older" tire design. I really like them on my fiesta, plenty of grip, and I'm getting decent mileage out of them.

Agree on this but don't forget that General is owned by Continental so a lot of the same technology goes into their tires

Generally these purchases have been stuff that there was no way whatsoever to get locally: Yokohama AVS Intermediate in my 240SX's stock 15" size.

Thats what I use and love em.

I've personally installed the RT43's on my own family members cars. They were great. Great in the snow, rain, and they are quiet. I don't think they're in the same class as a Michelin Premiere, but for the price they are great tires.

I ran three sets of those tires and never had any issues.

I've had it happen to me from Discount Tire, but luckily they were closeout and discounted already. They were my previous set of Geolander ATS for my Forester. Awesome tires though, never had an issue in 55k miles.

Those winter tires are on all of my cars and they are GREAT!

I have the IceGuards on my RWD Solstice GXP and they've worked great over the past two snowy winters. I haven't noticed any problem in the wet either.

I switched my winter tires for summers back on the Miata and noticed something odd. There are parts of the tread in the center on every tire that just seemed to have fallen off at some point. I bought the tires in 9/2015 and they had a 1012 build date. I was quite upset with Tire Rack that they would send me 3.5 year old tires advertised as new but they said there was nothing they could do. I ran them winter of 2015/2016 and again this current 2016/2017 winter. Last year they didn't have this separation and I have no idea what happened. I don't think it's something small that I ran over since it happened to all 4 tires. They're 175/65/14 General Altimax Arctics by the way.
