Replying to: olliexls2007 (Mar 12, 2009 4:40 pm) I like Cooper Tires. I have Zeon's on my Lincoln LS.   Anyone with an Outlander LS and the factory Yokohama's with much more than 20K on them? Mine with 20K are wearing but have life left in them, I was wondering about what I could get out of them.

Replying to: eagleboyben (Feb 24, 2007 6:42 pm) Yes. I too was very unhappy with my OEM tires, very poor performance. No grip. I did my research, I wanted max performance and I am willing to pay for GRIP on corners and especially on freeways. I found TWO good choices, The Consumer Reports recommended Goodyear, which I generall prefer or the Perrelli, which I have now. Very happy. I have nothing good to say about Michelin, I used to run these but their quality deteriorated so badly and I had so much belt seperations and car damage at highway speeds that I wouldn't used them if they were free. By the way, the Perrelli has been outstanding so far, my tires will out perform my Outlander for top end thats for sure. One minor issue I have had though, I am having to ungrade to a full laser jammer, this outlander is just a little too quick, but it's a nice problem to have......happy motoring. Now if I could just get decent service......
#55 of 71 Got ride of Goodyear OEM tires on xls by costello1 Sep 06, 2009 (6:57 am)
I just replaced my 07 xls pieces of crap Goodyears for a new set of michellin primacy . I can't believe Mitsi put those tires on the Outlander . I has 22k on them and they would slip all over , worn tread and very noisey. Even my wife who knows nothing about tires commented on how bad they were . The new tire change the whole driving experience , much less noise and the ride is improved greatly!!
#56 of 71 winter vs all season by mayda1 Sep 30, 2009 (8:21 am)
i have a new outlander( < 1 month old) and just drove x-cty with it and now have 6100 miles on my vehicle (purchased thanks to "cash for clunkers", endless research, and a fair price that i got when i included my jetta as a two-fer). going x-cty i saw only 4 other outlanders! what's up with that? is mitsu happy enough with foreign sales that they don't promote this vehicle? oh well that's for another forum, but thus far my car has performed flawlessly and i'm very happy with my purchase. mitsu needs more advocates i guess. anyway, was unhappy as soon as i read my first review of the stock tire...so i'm looking, especially now, for a replacement. i'm down to 2 tires; an all season and a snow as i'm in northern new england. both i had on my jetta and loved. the first was the goodyear assurance triple tread . my question with that one is whether it would be adequate in a fairly snowy, cold region? i know it's great on wet , but how about snow?. the other tire is the nokian hakkapeliitta which made driving in snow like night and day compared to my stock jetta tires.i'm open for other tires as well, but for those who have the 18" wheels you know there's not that much "good" available. thank you for your reply and help Replies to this message: toomanyfumes (Sep 30, 2009 4:03 pm)

Replying to: mayda1 (Sep 30, 2009 8:21 am) Your car all wheel drive? If so, you'll have no problem with an all season tire.

Replying to: comem47 (Nov 30, 2008 6:17 pm) I was going to get the Avon Ranger TSE tires for my 2007 Outlander LS, but I see the tire rack no longer has them in the 215/70R16 size (seem to be phasing them out and only a few sizes remain). After a bit of research I ended up ordering some General Grabber HTS at $91 each. (I'm not working now and keeping cost down, but these appear to be a great value for LS owners, though not as cheap as the Ranger TSE's would have been at $79. ea). I like the somewhat blockier tread vs the almost straight lines of the original Yokohama Geolander tires that wore the fronts out at under 20K with no rotation (my bad) . Review shows the to be fairly decent in snow and noise level, etc. nobody local came close to the shipped price from Tire Rack.   Have a look and I'll review after I get them mounted in the next few days.   http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=General&tireModel=Grabber+HTS Replies to this message: batman47 (Oct 18, 2009 11:08 am) mayda1 (Oct 18, 2009 6:52 pm) comem47 (Oct 19, 2009 4:11 am) and 2 more... tcp2 (Oct 21, 2009 12:52 pm) and 2 more... comem47 (Oct 21, 2009 12:22 pm)

Replying to: comem47 (Oct 16, 2009 3:01 pm) The Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S 225/55R18 is an excellent tire on tarmac, ice, snow, mud, gravel, sand, and water. I tried this tire for more than 6-months in Europe. The grip is fantastic. My previous car had 235/60R16 Geolandar A/T – S. I expect to use these tires in my new 2010 Outlander GT instead of the Goodyear LS2- all seasons. Four years ago the size 225/55R18 was not manufactured but from this month October this new size is offered in the US. Very good news. Price is $136 each from tire rack.com   See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com Replies to this message: mayda1 (Oct 18, 2009 6:52 pm) comem47 (Oct 19, 2009 4:11 am) batman47 (Oct 19, 2009 10:01 am) and 1 more... tcp2 (Oct 21, 2009 12:52 pm) comem47 (Oct 21, 2009 8:39 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: batman47 (Oct 18, 2009 11:08 am) thanks for the comeback. i thought about the Geolanders but decided on (and have ordered) some Nokian Hakkapellitta's as several local dealers think the Nokians are one of the best on the market if price isn't an object( price is but i won't mess around when it comes to safety and tires). i had these on my jetta for 2 winters and they were great. hopefully that will transfer over to the Outlander. my only hesitation was that in one of the forums or reviews hydroplaning on wet was given a low rating. that wasn't the case with my jetta hakka's, so i'll give 'em a try and review them here later being that it's October and the snows already flying they may get a workout earlier than expected....now that that decision has been made what am i going to switch to come next May (as i'm just not happy with the LS2's). suggestions?

Replying to: mayda1 (Oct 18, 2009 6:52 pm) Just to clarify: There are Geolanders and then there are Geolanders.(I see Yokohama has no less than 14 different tires sporting the Geolander name) The OEM tires for the LS I referred to in my post are the Geolander HTG033. It's not the worst tire I've ever had, rather so-so, but the wear is bad. I look for something decent in snow when I buy a tire and once again they are rather ho-hum there. I see some other people agree on the Tire Rack review of the tire (It's not me as one of the 2 Outlander owners posting in the review at the bottom)   http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Yokohama&tireModel=Geolandar+H%- - 2FT+G033 Replies to this message: batman47 (Oct 19, 2009 10:01 am) comem47 (Oct 19, 2009 7:37 pm)
