New Tire Time. Yokohamas?

I posted a thread on these tires in the general forum. That was probably not the right way to go about this. Sorry.

Here's What I Need:
Replace the OEM Dunlops. I drive city and highway. Dry climate (though we may be getting a wet El Niņo this winter). Need Good (not Sport) traction and Very Good tread wear life. This will be an under-100 mph car.

Here's What I'm Looking At
Yokohama Avid Ascend (T-Speed Rated) Standard Touring All-Season Tire. $85.10 ea. To be mounted on OEM rims.

Here's My Price Range:
Must be under $100.

Thanks.

May want to consider the General Altimax RT43 H rated A/S . Use them on the '13 base FIT since last fall . There's a rebate . Go to their site under promotions .

I highly endorse your tire selection. Good traction, long wearing, and a low rolling resistance tire.

Go to tirerack.com to read the reviews.

I got those tires installed on my 2010 Fit in April 2014. Very happy with them.

do a search on this site-- there are many positive reviews

Here's the gas mileage for our '13 base FIT with the 5 speed auto . The RT43s' have been on since 10/11/14 . Better handling ( dry , wet , winter ) and less noise with very little hit to the F.E.. Kept at 34 > 36 p.s.i.. Click on this to view F.E. , . There's usually 2 passengers ( including driver ) for about 1/2 the total mileage . So , your gas mileage may be slighlty better if only 1 .

Thanks, guys.

I went with the Yokos. Had them installed this morning. All's good so far.

These are my first Yokohamas. Been running Michelins mostly. Looking forward to seeing how these work out.

Nice choice. Had them and had no complaints. Smooth and very reliable on the road.
