Tires YOKOHAMA or SUMITOMO

I got Yoko Fleva V701 in 205/40/17 since I have an MSM. For $100/tire installed it was hard to pass up.

I have a set on a Celica. Been driving in Melbourne weather and have yet to have a problem.

I would seriously consider the Yokohama Geolandar x-cv. I replaced the crap falkens around 31k miles, have about 22k on the yokos and they are fantastic. They also still look and drive new, probably will get 50-60k out of them. They ride very smooth

if you are looking for superior ride quality, Yokohoma does the job as well.

I have the Yoko geolandar g018 on my 22' in MT. I just switched to my winter studs for the ice on BZN pass, but otherwise the Yokohamas were doing great in the snow.

I'm running yoko geolander A/Ts at the moment, the side walls are much stiffer than the last tires I was running which were BF Goodrich vantage controls, which imo were solid all season tires. The geos don't make much road noise and have performed very well in the snow.

I've only ever used Yokohama Avid Ascend GT. They're on the quieter side.

In my experience, Yokohamas last the least amount of time. Had a set of 205 advan fleva v701’s on a Suzuki swift sport and it was glued, for a brief period.

I have the same make and model and these tires are absolute crud. In the 15 months I’ve had the vehicle it’s gotten holes in these tires FOUR TIMES; most recently last week while in Vermont and they insisted this time it couldn’t be patched and that they had to order the exact tire from a regional warehouse overnight.

Today was my first drive into work on the new Yokohama YK-GTX tires. I normally average just over 5mi/kw, today it was just over 4mi/kw. I expected some range hit with new tires, but this seems a bit much. Is this expected, or is their arbitrary range scoring complete garbage?
