Tires YOKOHAMA or Vredestein

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.

I loved my Geolanders!

I got the Geolanders literally 48 hours ago - got back from my first adventure with them about 15 minutes ago, handled amazing in dirt, deep mud and snow - haven’t had them long enough to recommend them one way or another but no initial complaints

Geolanders for sure. I have them on mine and they handle better than I could have hoped.

I just bought a set of winter Vredesteins in November and so far, I've been very, very pleased with their performance (coming from a history of Blizzaks, then more recently Michelin Alpins).

i loved the yok ao52 but i hear the nangkang crs are even better and cheaper

It sounds like your issues are mostly due to the tires. The stock tires aren't very good in the [snow and cold](https://www.tirerack.com/tires/continental-procontact-rx). I changed my tires to better all-weather tires (Vredestein Quatrac Pros) and saw great performance in snow for the last two winters in Chicago.

Also running Vredestein Quatrac Pro in a wet state that gets some snow too. Excellent all-rounder.

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.

For anyone who lives in snowy climate, do you find OEM Yokohama tires suck in the snow? I live in Minnesota and it's winter wonderland now but I find myself slipping and sliding perhaps more than I should.
