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.

  1. 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
  2. BRIDGESTONE - 235/60R18 XL ALENZA AS ULTRA

    • Better
    • $259 each, $1256.14 total, $100 extra for alignment
    • 80,000 mile limited treadwear warranty
  3. 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).
