Tires YOKOHAMA or Sailun

Just replaced a set of Yokohama Avid Ascend GTs on my Mazda3.....after 81k miles. They still had a little wear left. Treadware warranty was 65k. No recent alignment but regular rotations. Never had a flat either, on crappy New England roads.

I have been driving the Yokohama Geolander M/Ts for 6 years & love them. First set lasted 5 years, and am on my second set. I live in Eastern WA at a 2000+ elevation and often get serious snow & ice on the roads, hills & in the  mountains. I did a lot of research before buying them, and they have been great. About to buy some for my son's car, too.

Really enjoy Continental and Yoko. My last set of Continentals lasted 85k miles and I'd bet I could have gone another 15k if my car didn't need an alignment as all the tires had a ton of tread left on the inside and were to the wear bar on the outside.

I got the Yokohama YK-CTX when it was time for new tires and I feel like I am driving a new, better car. It is so much quieter and smoother. Ride quality has increased enormously.

They are very grippy on dry (I'm using 205/45/17), steering response is fantastic, very direct. On wet they seem fine, though I'm driving very cautiously on wet.

I replaced all four with Yokohama Advent Ascends. These have been completely trouble free for the last 15,000 miles (24,000 km). I have not measured, but I'd bet I still have 8 or 9/32 left on all four. I expect them to last at least another 30,000 miles (49,000 km).

You can get new Sailun tires for less than $115each from Big O Tires. They are good tires for the money, basically designed to do exactly what you need. New safe tires that fit a tight budget.

which were heaps better, noticeably a level above the bridgestones, but did cost a bit more.

I've driven them on a mod car, but hadn't driven said car on anything else.

They lasted about 30000 on my Camry. I had a problem with one of them that I had my local Firestone mount and “balance”. One day I noticed a loss of 3-4psi and subsequently saw a screw in the tire. Had been experiencing a lot of road noise sounded like a helicopter at cruising speeds.
