Yokohama Parada Spec-X 225/60R18 100H High Performance All-Season Passenger Tires - Perfect for SUVs, Sedans & Daily Commuting

I had these Yokohama Parada Spec-X tires installed on my 2011 GMC Yukon Denali XL based on the specifications and performance qualities I was seeking. I reviewed multiple manufacturers (some more expensive), multiple tire brand names/types within their lineup, and selected the Yokohama Parada based on handling characteristics & performance, wet/dry traction grip, and ride quality (low road noise). The least important details were cost, wear factor, and mileage warranty. Remember this when buying tires, there is only a small contact patch between your four tires and the road, having the optimal tire could mean the difference between being safe when conditions or situations turn bad! These tires from Yokohama are both weight balance (Yellow dot) and radial force variation (Red dot) tested and marked from the factory (not all manufacturers go the extra step), assuring optimal road-force balancing of the installed tires on the rims is both as accurate as possible and requires the least applied weights on the rim for a long-term balance tire throughout its life cycle. After installation and an alignment check/adjustment, these tires are living up to every requirement I have of them. I highly recommend them, and will definitely be using them again and again; I even plan to switch the tires on my wife’s Land Rover Discovery from the OEM tire brand (Continental) to Yokohama Parada Spec-X.
