Tires YOKOHAMA or Vredestein

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.

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.

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 have ice guard on my car with no issues. Handles pretty damn good when dry cold or hot

Just replaced the OEM Yokohama Avid S34D with the Pirelli P7. Already can tell that they are far superior. 7 db quieter than the OEM on same section of road. I got 20k miles out of the Yokohama and the inside shoulder of all 4 were through the first layer of rubber.

Put some super grippy Yokohama's on there and problem solved...

I'm running Yokohama S-Drive's in 195/40's for my 9" and the stretch is good.

I replaced the Yokos with 215/65R-16 Yokohama AVID Ascend tires. No complaints with them. It has a very high treadwear, which we need because the Tig is our workhorse vehicle.

On my 2010 S, I quickly replaced the stock Scorpions with Yokohamas in 225/65-16 and it worked great. We have rough roads here, and it really helped.

I whole-heartedly un endorse the Yokohama YK580 that Discount Tire sells exclusively. As I said earlier in the thread 2.5 years ago, I put them on both my vehicles and I loved them at first. They drove great and were quiet. But I got nowhere near the 60k warranty on our Passat or Rout. Only got about 30k on the Rout.
