Tires [in general]

i've noticed that Yokohama tires are priced substantially lower than most others. anyone see a reason why? are they "cheap" tires?



my Geolandar AT +II tires have on taco have been great thus far, and i just got some avid s/t 245/60/15's and 225/70/15's for my 76' pontiac TA, $57ea for 245's and $50ea for 225's



considering the size of the tire, the price is very very low (tirerack.com)....



any opinions on Yokohama brand


I did a lot of investigation on tires a while back when I needed new meats for my toy. From what i've seen, Yokohama tires are good for the price, but wear poorly. Since I am a miser in the purest sense, I wanted a tire that would last me 5 years so I went with BFG AT/Ko's. In my opinion, they are the best tires around..a little pricey though, I paid $450 for 4 new tires, mounted, balance, road hazard and used spare. You can check for reviews on tires and such if you just know where to go. Check out:

Check the Korean brand Kumho. Bought their AT's for my 96 Pathfinder, and will be buying a set soon for our 01 Sienna. Very happy with the performance, and, for their price, makes the deal that much more sweet. Read the reviews on them at Tire Rack.
