New Yokohama A/T4 G018

Thank you. I think I'm going to give them a shot. I've been tempted by the KO3s, but man, they are heavy!
Hoping they work well for you in the snow! Sounds like you're happy with them in most other respects.

 

Are the loud on the highway? Have you used them in snow yet?

I can finally view them on Americas Tire in my size. It is both great and annoying they cost the same as the 265/75R16, it makes it harder to say no, but these will already be 10 lbs heavier than my old tires. Worrying about fuel economy on a 4runner is about as useful as patching the pool on the titanic, but I have to try.

 

Extremely quiet on the highway around 75mph. Still under 2k miles so I am still considering them new.

 

Update: Tires do very well in light snow. I am not experiencing any flat spots after being parked for several days. Also noticing that the tires are holding pressure. I am not having to add air all the time to maintain where I put them at.

 

Do these tires have full depth sipes (the little grooves in the tread blocks)? I read it has 3d sipes (when the width of the groove changes as the tire wears), but that doesn't mean full depth.

My old Goodyear Adventures have full depth which means wet traction doesn't drop off as much when the tire is nearing the end of its life.

Also any updates on performance? I'd be especially interested if you've gone in deeper snow since you last posted. And have you noticed any impact on MPG?

I'm getting tires very soon because I'm worried about tariffs.
