Yokohama Tires

[Robert Stamps]

The dealer where I am going to purchase my 20" wheels for my 02 STis recommending 255/50/20 Yokahama Parada tires. Anyone know anything about this tire?

 

[Thomas Rogers]

Not that specific tire, but Yokohamas in general are very good. Best set of tires we ever owned were a Yokohamas. Almost 80K miles before changing them out.



My Crapyears are cupped beyond salvage at 20K.

I put a set of Yokohama Geolander H/T's on my 2002 Explorer in 2005 after I got 65k out of the original Michelins. I also went a little wider with a 255. Definitely improved the look and made it look a bit more rugged. The Yokohamas seemed to wear very nice and were very quiet. I had been looking at the Kumho Venture ST, however Tire Rack was out at the time.

Ditto on the Yok Geolander HT/S...good tire..

Interestingly, the Tire Rack does not list that tire in that size. You can link to reviews from the link I included below as well.



I've always liked Yokohama tires and recently put a set of AVID V4S on the wife's RAV4. It's been an excellent tire for that vehicle (which came with Bridgestone Dueler H/Ts as OEM). I'm liking what I see from Kumho tires as of late, and will be going with them on the ST (265/75/16 Kumho Road Venture MT 834).

On past vehicles (94 Mustang GT and 1999 Contour SVT) I had great life and performance out of the Kumho Ecstas. Definitely, you get a lot of bang for the buck with their tires and I suspect you would get the same performance out of their SUV tires.

I have Yokohama Avid TRZ's on the wife's Taurus, we like them real well. Good performance and treadlife and don't cost a lot. Despite the name, they are made in the U.S., at least the ones I have.
