Tires YOKOHAMA or OEM FORD

Junkyard tires for a pizza delivery beater, at 10 bucks each you can't beat it

Yokohama's for the car you care about

I live in Michigan and use Yokohama Avid Ascend GT tires year around. Been great so far!

From personal experience on small sporty cars:

1. Yokohama Advan

With that said, those Yokes are fantastic. The wet grip on those is unbelievable, especially for a touring tire. The handling was a bit loose, but that is typical of a touring tire that isn’t Michelin.

The yokohamas are probably your best bet, theyre some of the best tires on the market especially given their price. Pirellis are overrated as fuck and are not needed unless youre racing on a track, and they wear out extremely fast. Continentals are definitely the second best choice, especially if youre looking for a summer tire or something very grippy.

The only weak spot were the tires. The OEM Yokohamas inspired zero confidence so they were removed and sold. The cars is super comfortable, uses regular gas and the clutch/Shifter feel are great. LED lighting is a really nice touch as well

For a cruising around/daily tire, no spirited driving, the Yokohamas Avid-S I've put on my girlfriend's Yaris are the most amazing touring tires I've ever driven on.

I got a good deal on some Yokohama advan apex v601, I got like 5k miles on them and love them so far

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 a little disappointed with the icy road performance of the Yokohama AVID GT that came on mine.
