    Bought 4 tires thru Walmart, installed with lifetime road hazard warranty....4 months later, I noticed a bulge in the sidewall of two of the tires. I went to Walmart, they said the tires looked fine. Now it's been a little over a year, with almost no miles. One tire is leaking out of three holes in the bubble on sidewall....and the other loses 20lbs overnight. I returned to Walmart and they said that that tire wasn't available. He told me I should accept a Douglas brand tire as a replacement. After all was calculated I wound up paying 100.00 to fix the problem.

    Poor quality tires and a road hazard warranty that isn't. I have 4 vehicles, all rolling on Yokohama Tires. Never again.... Lost a 50 year loyal customer. I'll be sure to share my experience with my racing buddies and anyone else that needs to know. I did call Yokohama, and was told to deal with Walmart. Note: wal Mart was the main culprit here... the tire were junk, but the warranty should have covered replacements.

    I bought 4 Yokohama tires, new, 2 punctured easily with a large big screw, the second punctured with a skinny nail and can hear the air hissing when I was washing the tires. I paid over 1300 and am very disappointed by the quality. Started to deflate when temperature drops below 60 degrees. Purchased through snap finance and no returns, final sale, no warranty. Only fixed flat tire for free from where I purchased it from.

      Yokohama Geolander tires are dangerous. Get them off your car. Brand new Subaru Crosstrek 2024 with 3700 miles. Tire pressure was correct and we never hit anything. Tire sensor light came on and there was a slight wobble. Immediately slowed down and got off the highway and pulled into the first opening. The tire literally looks like it exploded. After reading the reviews we are replacing all 4 tires with another brand. This tire is 100% defective and we are not going to risk our families lives, new tires this morning. We will be talking to the dealer to see if they will give us cash to replace this tire since the standard tire at Subaru is this brand. We spent a lot of money on this car and got garbage tires. I can’t add a receipt for the tire to be “verified” since I purchased the car and these were the tires on it.

      Yokohama Geolandar G91 tires are great! They were the original tires on my 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. They have 72,622 miles on them and have preformed great for almost 6 years. I'm replacing them today to be responsible ahead of time since starting a big road trip soon. Best tires that have lasted longer than any others in my whole life. Thank you Yokohama!! Quality that can last with regular rotation. Amazing! So I chose the same model and brand for replacement.

      I bought a brand new 2024 Subaru Crosstrek with factory installed Yokohama Geolander tires. At less than 7,000 miles the back right tire blew out from the side wall…. There was no road debris or excessive speed. Faulty tire, compromised safety integrity

      This is my very first experience with Yokohama winter tires for transporter. I bought panel van from dealer fitted with new Yokohama Transporter winter tires. I was told - these are good tires, so decided - let it be. What misfortune. Tires slipped on snow, on wet grass, on light mud, on wet paved road, basically on any surface different from asphalt. Any challenge is too much for these tires. I will run these tires in summer, now and before next winter will mount them in garbage skip with relief.

      In June of 2022, I was at Discount Tire buying new tires for my 2012 Volkswagen Jetta, and I did not know which tires to get. The guy at the tire shop recommended the Yokohama YK GTX 740 tires for my car. I thought "Yeah cool, I will give these a try, I always heard good things about Yokohama tires". Boy, what a mistake that was. Now I know to do more research, and honestly, most tires nowadays seem to have this issue, even Michelin. These tires handle poorly in the rain, nearly spun out on the highway but miraculously regained control. As soon as water hits the pavement, anything more than a little throttle equals wheel spin. They also wear out much sooner than they should.

      At 10,000 miles the front tires were at 7/32" and the rears at 9/32". I put about 11,000 more miles on the tires and they all were at 5/32" ALREADY. 2,000 miles later (23,000 total) and the front tires are at <3/32" tread life left, rears at 4/32". My car is obviously FWD, and it is a diesel with a stage 2 tune, so there is over 360 ft/lbs of torque going to the wheels, so what do I expect right? I am reading other reviews on here of people with slower cars who drive like grandpas getting even less tread life.

      Now unlike some others here, I can be a bit more of a spirited driver, but this is ridiculous when the tires are warranted for 60,000 miles. It's not like I was doing any burnouts, just maybe a little peel here and there. Nobody at the tire shop said that in order to get the warranty claim, you have to rotate them every 5,000 miles. Another lesson learned there. And to make matters worse they do not even sell the YK 740 GTX anymore, probably due to these issues. Luckily, I have not had any leaks or blowouts, thank God. Now I have to shell out $800+ a year and a half sooner than I thought I would have to. NOT HAPPY. Hopefully, Goodyear tires will last longer, as on my previous car, a 2006 Jetta, they lasted over 50,000 miles no issues.

      In 2021 I bought four new Yokohoma tires for my 2017 Honda Pilot from Discount Tires. After roughly 20,000 miles I needed four new tires even though there was a warranty on the tires for 60,000 miles. I went to discount and they would only give me partial credit for the tires claiming they should have been rotated. I had to pay over $500 to get into a different tire so I could pass inspection in Texas.

      I originally purchased these tires since Discount Tires recommended them. The young man at the shop even stated the tires should have lasted longed but no other discounts were given. I didn't even get half the mileage I should have gotten. My advice is to NEVER use these tires and now I question Discount Tires and their warranty.

      Never buy Yokohama tires, if you think to buy this brand be aware that they don't stand behind their products, I got a brand new Toyota with Yokohama all season tires, after 29k miles driven, the shop told me that tires need to be replaced already (I went to other shops and they told me the same), 29K mile is a low mileage for a brand new tires, so I went to Yokohama authorized distributors (Discount tires) at one store they didn't do anything just told to open a claim in Yokohama website (which you can't do), then I went to another Discount tire store and there the guy tried to help me and look the policy,

      He recommended me to contact Yokohama because although the wear of the tire was too much for the mileage the claim wasn't go through, so I called Yokohama and they said that they don't cover tires installed in brand new cars because technically you didn't buy them (crappy excuse) and they told me that they won't cover or honoring anytime type of warranty (time or mileage type), I always lease my cars, and there's been two other occasions when early wear happen once with Good Year and the second time with BF Goodrich, on those occurrences both companies cover their product even when they were coming from a brand new car.

      I purchased 4 Yokohama tires with an 80,000 mile warranty. Just 22,000 miles and 2 of them already need replacing. Instead of just replacing them Yokohama has a pro rate system that charged me for the miles I have driven on their tires. This is unacceptable! Cheap tires! Very bad customer service. I am having the yokohama tires replaced with another, better brand. I will never buy another yokohama product.
