What are the best Yokohama tires for a Subaru, Nissan, or Toyota build? It depends on how you drive: the Advan A052 for maximum dry grip on autocross and track days, the Advan Apex V601 for ultra-high-performance street and canyon driving, the Advan Sport A/S+ for year-round performance in changing weather, or the Geolandar X-AT for trucks and SUVs that split time between pavement and trail. This collection covers all of those lanes, with sizes from 15-inch autocross fitments up to 19-inch street setups and LT-rated all-terrain sizes. Match the tire to your driving, your wheel size, and your vehicle's load and speed rating requirements.
Tires are the single biggest handling upgrade you can make because they are the only part of the car that touches the road. Summer compounds trade cold-weather flexibility for dry grip, all-season tires stay pliable across a wider temperature range, and all-terrain tires trade some on-road sharpness for off-road traction.

Yokohama Tire FAQ
What do the numbers in a tire size mean?
In 265/35R18, 265 is the tread width in millimeters, 35 is the sidewall aspect ratio, R means radial construction, and 18 is the wheel diameter in inches. The numbers after, like 97Y, are the load index and speed rating. Match or exceed your vehicle's factory ratings.
Should I choose summer, all-season, or all-terrain tires?
Summer tires like the Advan A052 or Apex V601 maximize warm-weather grip, all-season tires like the Advan Sport A/S+ work year-round in mild climates, and all-terrain tires like the Geolandar X-AT suit trucks that go off pavement. Buy for how you actually drive.
Do I need an alignment after changing tires?
New tires don't require a tune, but an alignment check is smart whenever you change tire sizes or notice uneven wear or pulling. Proper alignment also extends the life of performance compounds.
When should I replace my tires?
Replace them at 2/32" of tread, or sooner with cracking, bulges, or uneven wear. Performance rubber hardens with age, so check the sidewall date code and consider replacement past six years.
