Apparently my factory alignment was shit, and the tires are already up for replacement. The workshop I went to gives me three options. Please let me know if the prices look good, and which among the three would be the best choice.
-
KENDA - 235/60R18 XL VEZDA TOURING 4S (KR211)
- Good (according to the workshop)
- $148 each, $724.67 total, $100 extra for alignment
- 60,000 mile limited treadwear warranty
-
BRIDGESTONE - 235/60R18 XL ALENZA AS ULTRA
- Better
- $259 each, $1256.14 total, $100 extra for alignment
- 80,000 mile limited treadwear warranty
-
YOKOHAMA - 235/60R18 AVID ASCEND LX
- Best
- $224 each, $1088.56 total, $100 extra for alignment
- 85,000 mile limited treadwear warranty
Please recommend which one of these is a better set of tires, or if you have a better recommendation elsewhere.
Thanks!
My experience with Bridgestone (in Ohio) has always been that they look great on paper, but never in real life. I got a set of Michelins and was much happier.
Yokohama have notoriously short lifespans (Subarus come with them). We’re over 70k miles on Michelins defenders on a Crosstrek. The last 4-5 years we didn’t even switch to snow tires in winter (hasn’t been enough snow).
