Yokohama  AVID GT

These tires came as OEM on my 2021 Toyota Corolla Hatchback SE.
I like their dry & wet traction. I only have 1,000 miles on them, so the jury is out on longevity & snow performance. I do like their grip.
I have a while, but am considering Pirelli 4 Season +
as a replacement when the time comes.

This is the stock tire on my new Subaru Legacy Limited XT and I was very pleasantly surprised. I've come to not expect the best from an OEM tire but these are excellent in every condition I've driven on. It will be a while before there's any snow here to make any assessment on snow handling. But there has been a lot of rain since getting the car and these feel extremely secure, handling remains agile making me feel very confident on wet rainy roads. Dry handling has also been excellent with very good steering response and secure footing on twisty curving sections. In addition, perhaps not as important, these are very good looking tires. I'm proud to have them on my car and would definitely buy them again unless they prove horrible on snowy roads which I wouldn't expect.

I have the Yokohama Avid-GT 18" tires on my 2020 Outback. They seem to be very quiet and in rain (we do not have snow in South Florida)
no slippage.... I was concerned since the traction rating is B ... I went to Subaru to find out why they would put a B TRACTION rated tire on what is purported to be the safest car you can buy.... I was told that Yokohama makes this tire specifically for Subaru ... they are considered very safe. SO we will find out as the miles and heavy rains are experienced, but so far they seem to be good.

These are being compared to my defacto race tire michelin pilot sports. And the very comfortable riding General R43 which has great all around attributes price/cost/comfort/wear ratio.
The Yoko Avids are Factory tires on Rav4 prime xse. Excellent grip and comfort. A bit jittery when inflated to 38/38 and warmer temps push it to mid40’s psi while driving but no means uncomfortable. Stays grippy when pushed to its limits which are further than expected with this vehicle combo. I was pleasantly surprised that a factory tire from Toyota would actually be enjoyable and comfortable. Have not been able to review wear characteristics. Have not tested in ice/snow here in sunny Unicornia.
Just watch the inflation pressures and

Original equipment tires on the Subaru Outback XT.
Certainly quiet and comfortable highway tires, good dry dry traction. Used these up and down the California coast during the pandemic, and we had very little precipitation to base any kind of judgment on, but these were fine when it did get wet.
Picked up 3 nails and screws in that time, but these resulted in slow leaks, not immediate flats.
We live in the mountains, so lots of twisty-road driving. These are not really suitable for that when pushed, as they lose their line easily and break into a squeal when pushed past 6/10.
The shoulders wore out first, because of all the cornering, and the set was replaced at 34,000 miles.
Replaced these with Vredesteins at 30% less cost.

This tire came on my 20 Corolla Hatchback XSE from the factory. I was surprised to have such a high end brand from the factory. The tires are fantastic for te handling, noise, and fuel economy. They look great which I a plus also, but not a important as they perform. I will be buying these again when it's time to replace this set!

I had thought about buying different tires than these. However, if the ride, quietness and snow/ice traction holds up, I'll keep them until they wear out.

As a driver in snow country for 50 plus years, I know that one can think a set season tires are wonderful in snow and ice, but then find conditions that they seem the worst tires possible. My limited experience with these so far has been in the wonderful category, unlike another early review. A dedicated snow tire this is not. But I have a 4wd entrance to a cabin I'm working on, covered with snow and ice right now. Pulled a light trailer in and out several different times as well as other trips and there was NO slipping. Start/stop on slope required no finesse.

The other aspect is comfort and quietness, two things I like. Don't really hear them and it's great over the big pavement cracks that are way past due for repair, as well as hiding other road issues. Ride is smoother and quieter than any car/tire combo I've owned. Note I do have tall aspect ratio tires(65 series), so it may not be as good for 55 series or lower, due to stiffer sidewalls on those.

Can't really rate serious handling much, as this is a Subaru, not a sports car, and I drive slow and want tires to last. But time will tell.

These tires are crap in cold weather. They are literally dangerous on snow, slush, and ice. I drive my Outback very conservatively by the way.

If you never, and I mean never, see temperatures below freezing these tires might be ok.

Remarkably poor snow performance. Got totally stuck on a small hill in Subaru Outback.
Also now have a sidewall leak in one tire with no evidence of a puncture. Looks like a defective seam?

I did not purchase these tires off tire rack, however they came on a used 2024 outback xt(which is what subaru puts on all new subarus)...if you live in an area with snow do not purchase these, barely manageable in light snow let alone heavy snow, there is zero confidence with these tires in the snow (braking, turning, accelerating) none of it, which is annoying after spending 35k on an awd vehicle that "what makes a subaru a subaru" and now spending more money on better all seasons....there are much better tires out there do your research, cant believe Subaru would go with these other than Yokohama being a Japanese company as well, do better Subaru

Extremely noisy. Even on a hybrid vehicle. Responsive wet and dry. Extremely poor treadwear rating. I scratch my head wondering why a company who manufactures quality vehicles- Toyota, would even consider putting this tire on any of its vehicles. Overpriced. I had this tire also on my Mazda 6 sedan and they only lasted about 20K. Not acceptible.

The Avia GT supplied with Subarus are an OEM tire. Yokohama told me that they did not guarantee mileage on these tires. At 23.200 miles I have 5/32 tread life. My car will be two years old tomorrow. I had expected at least 3 years service life. I will definitely NOT be buying Yokohama replacement tires.

Original equipment on my 22 subaru outback. Drove cross country with no problems, but then started getting more road noise. Winter was adequate at best. Real problem was wear. 65000 tire that barely lasted 30000. Would not recommend.
