new tires, help me choose:

For my wife’s daily, a 07 honda pilot. Gets used for her driving back and forth to Albany, plus we tow our boat (around 2750 lbs) and will be towing a travel trailer (Under 4000lbs) often in the summer. Needs to be a tire that kicks ass in the wet and is good in the snow, yet doesnt howl going down the highway and can be expected to last 50k+ plus miles (I know, im asking a lot). dc2nick at mavis suggests the coopers, but I think they’re a little more aggressive that what we need. Here are the three that i can’t choose between, they all have good reviews.

Yokohama HTRs

Yokohama ATRs

Cooper Discoverer ATRs:

Im really leaning towards the Yokohama ATRs and they have pretty good reviews.

so get em

Nooo Yokohama’s are garbage from what i have seen and heard first hand at work. As well as Coopers. Go with BFGs or some Mich.

Yokos are real soft, if thats what youre looking for. I really like the softer compound tires. Sure they wear out faster, but I like how they feel more.

James!

What?!

goodyear fortera hl…had those on my pathfinder quite a few years back, wore alil bit quickly…but road noise was next to nothing, wet/dry traction was superb…even had them in the mud and they did well. i used to tow allll sorts of shit with that poor truck and those tires were great. the ones without the “silent armor” are discontinued but can be found and can be found cheap.

Whats good brother? We never talk anyore… :cry:

you know my number homie…

Yea, I do actually. We should get the kids together again. Wonder if they remember they dont like each other? :lol

Back on topic: I had Yokos on my Civic, but I dont tow anything. So my opinion is not valid here.

who knows… they would probably fight again.

I have cooper weathermasters and they are really a really good snow tire. But poor on wet roads after they are worn down a bit.

Goodforoneyears are junk as well

haha thats a good one, gonna have to use that bro of course if you dont mind lol

Nah it’s all good Justin lmaooo

My father’s Trailblazer has BFG’s and they kick ass year round.

Hoosiers :shifty wat lol
