I have approx 40,000 miles on my Yokohama tires on my truck. They have plenty of life left in them and they actually work well on the beach and even in the mud.

X2. I have them on my Durango and love them. Smooth riding all season radials with no noise. Also gotta agree with SpareParts about Michilens. My wife just put a new set on her Honda Accord. Her old set was starting to show wear with 75K on them (All on-road). .

Thanks guys. I have Mich's on there now and while I will agree they are great on the road they absolutely suck when I get on my huntin lease. The first little bit of mud and they are caked up and start spinning. Thats to be expected from what they call a M/S tire that has the aggressiveness of a field mouse.

I gotta find a better tire to get me through the nastier stuff.....

What kind of Yoko's do yall have

I have the geolander ATS. They are all terrain tires in a 315 70-17 size. My next set will be the mud terrain which I think is the MT+ in a 37" or 38".

By Goodrich tires aren't whatthey used to be. TThat's why I went with coopers. The bfgs I had before these wore fast. And they were the heavy KOs "E" load range.
