Hey folks, I'm in the market for new tires for my 2007 ASPEN. Anyone have a recomendation?

 

Me too. I'm considering either Yokahama Parada Spec-X or Bridgestone Alenza's. Quite a price difference on Tire Rack, both get good reviews. I'm staying away from the Michelin Lattitude HP - some negative reviews on balancing and personal experience on the non-HP Latitudes on my Grand Cherokee - pebble magnets and tough to keep in balance.

 

I purchase the Yokohama Avid Envigor it has a little more road noise than the Goodyears but all around better ride. Now that being said most tires in this segment are v rated and will have slightly stiffer ride but better handling .The Bridgestone Alenzas H/L I tried 1st but they flat spotted in temps below 35 degrees and I swapped for the Yokohamas . I was told that the nylon in the make up of the tire cause this but after driving a few mile it smooths out.

 

It's a tough choice. I've always done well with Michelins & Goodyears for my cars. The 20" size and the somewhat negative reviews for the Michs & Goodyr concern me for the ASPEN. Not sure I'm ready for Bridgestones, yes, the trouble was several years ago on the Explorers. I have no experience with the Yokos, so obviously a little concerned to take the leap. I have Goodyr Wranglers, time for some new ones.

 

We replaced the stock Goodyear tires with Hankook Ventus AS RH07 about 6 months ago. They have been fantastic tires - great in the rain, fairly quiet ride, they look nice, and they're good for 65,000 miles. Fantastic tires, and less expensive than a lot of other options.

I had Hankooks on my Lexus, and they were great in that application as well. This tire company is extremely underrated IMO.
