Yokohama AVID Touring Passenger/Performance Tire

Pros: Long-lasting, low price, low noise and cushy ride, non-directional design for flexible tire rotation
Cons: Not the most responsive, T speed rating

My mother's 2006 Honda Accord came with mediocre OEM Bridgestone Turanza EL41 tires in 195/65-R15 size. Check out my review of the ...

Pros: Average cost; longer lifespan/mileage; quiet/smooth ride makes driving pleasurable.
Cons: Availability; not all made in Japan (some here, some China)

I purchased a set of four Yokohama AVID-S 215/70R15 touring tires for my work vehicle back in June ('09).  Since then I have logged appx. 8000 local/highway miles on them, incurring only one road-hazard claim due to an unrepairable ...

Pros: Smooth ride, awesome handling, priced right, great rain & snow traction
Cons: None to date

I have a 1997 Ford Taurus with almost 180,000 miles on it. In the time I've owned, I've gotten a real good feel for the way it has been riding and handling. The car came with General G4S Touring tires tires, with a "T" rating. After the first 85,000 ...

Pros: awesome all-season performance, ridiculous value.
Cons: 112 mph limit may be too low for some.

these tires are awesome, a ridiculous value. the tires that were previously on my camry v6 were put on by the previous owner and were decent-quality replacements from the dealer. when one of them had a blowout, i wanted a new set of tires since they...

Pros: Very quiet, awesome price, great durability and warranty (80k).
Cons: Only medium in handling- not a high performance tire.

When I first read the other reviews on the Yokohama Avid Touring, I thought they were all rigged by the manufacturer or one of the tire dealers. Yeah, sure, I thought. "You get what you pay for" is the saying my parents drilled into me. However, I can...

Pros: Very quiet and smooth for the first 10,000 miles. All downhill from there.
Cons: Excessive tread wear, separating belts

I bought a set of Avid Touring tires a couple of years ago for my 2000 Toyota Sienna minivan. They were supposed to be 80,000 mile tires. However, with less than 30,000 miles, the tires are nearly worn down to the tread wear indicators. They have been ...

Pros: Cheaply priced, okay treadlife, some people swear by them.
Cons: Soft cornering, poor traction, noisy, unstable on grooved roads, poorly made, poor warranty.

In May of 2004, I bought an '03 Honda CR-V that came equipped with Yoko AVID Touring tires. The original owner replaced the OEM Bridgestone Duellers with the Yokos after 6,000 miles, so I'm assuming the original tires were pretty bad. In my first ...

Pros: Very quiet and smooth, good handling, good value
Cons: not tested off road, sidewalls probably would not survive in rocky terrain

My 2002 Subaru Forester came with Bridgestone Dualers, which is sort of a dual purpose on/off road tire. I thought the handling was adequate for this mild mannered little car, but the noise level on the highway was deafening on long trips, especially on ...

Pros: low noise, smooth ride, unbeatable price
Cons: ok performance

These tires are the ONLY tires you should purchase for a commuter car. With an 80,000 mile warranty, they will last twice as long as tires at twice the price. I only paid $46 from the Tire Rack with shipping and handling. Then I paid $15 per tire to...

Pros: Great handling, traction, ride, and comfort -- and excellent value, too!
Cons: They pick up and throw small stones. Yoko should offer black walls in all sizes.

UPDATE: This is an update almost a year and about 11,000 miles since I acquired these tires. The verdict: Still great tires! They made it through our Montana winter (mild at times, not so mild at others), and provided better-than-good snow traction. ...

Pros: Good all-round performance for the money.
Cons: Not as quiet as ratings suggest.

We recently replaced the OEM Bridgestone Dueler 684's on my wife's CR-V with a set of Avid Tourings. We chose a touring model rather than a SUV tire because she only drives on-road, and lots of highway miles at that (and besides, the CR-V really ...

Pros: Quiet, excellent handling compared to factory tires, Excellent warranty
Cons: none

When the two front tires of my 1998 Dodge Intrepid wore out the first time, I replaced them with the same factory tires. That was a bad move because those wore out just as fast as the originals. I think I only got about 35K miles each time.

...

Pros: Completely silent, awesome value, amazingly smooth ride, good traction.
Cons: None, wish I knew about them before.

These are the best tires I have ever owned, they are amazing. I have owned top of the line Michelin,
Pirelli, etc… and found that these are superior tires and don’t even cost the same high ticker price.

I put the tires on my 1998 Buick...

Pros: Smooth, EXCELLENT snow traction, very good wet traction, good value!
Cons: none.

I purchased these tires for my 1998 Toyota Sienna minivan after reading reviews on Epinions and consumer reports. I bought them because I wanted a quiet tire and since in Live outside of DC, snow was only a minor consideration. However, after getting 7...

Pros: High quality looks, very attractive side wall profile, high mile rating at a great price
Cons: Unstable and wiggly on San Diego freeways

I read so many great reviews on tirerack.com and epinions.com about the Avid Touring Tire that I was willing to switch from my usual brand (Cooper Tire). So I went to my local Discount Tire store and checked them out. I was impressed on the design and ...
