I have a 2007 ES. I have already had to replace my Yokohamas, only 25,000 miles on the tires. I had Yokies on my RAV4 and they wore out at 2 years too. I replaced them with Continentals CrossContacts. They have been on for a week, but so far, they have been great.

I have still the 225/55/18 Goodyear LS2 for summer (I find them good for the outie, they could have more grip but they are fine for now)
for winter I have Nokian Hakka 5 SUV studded in size 225/60/17 ...

for the record: i had come down to either
- bridgestone dueller hp ( seems defaullt in uk and mentioned as improvement )
- Hankook ventus st rh06 ( love the profile and got good marks on low noise )
- pirelli
- Good year assurance triple tred
then my dealer told me he had been recommended Kuhmo KL51 from some of his tyre suppliers.( better then hankook ventus he said) since i did not know this tyre i looked around and found this on tirerack with extremely good marks.
So I am going to try these Kuhmos, will get back with my results after a few hundred kilometers.

I took of the 16" OEM alloys and Yokos which I found OK in the dry stuff, left the TPMS sensors installed and fitted Costco 16" steel rims with Michelin X-ice 215/70 R16 studless winter tyres. A bit more road noise, especially after breaking them in, but by far the best traction on our poor weather roads here in Newfoundland. If you need good winter grip then I recommend these ones. Only annoying thing is the TPMS warning light, but a bit of black insulating tape on the facia resolves that wee problem unless you want to fork out a few bucks for a 2nd set ofsensorsand a trip to the dealer to re-program the ECU.

My dealer installed BF Goodrich all season tyres BF Goodrich G-force T/A KDWS - 235/50/18 ZR - 97W
I experienced this tyre as unappropriate for the outlander.
I am not too happy due to the noise they create and the wheels look a bit small for such a type of car.
Normally the 225/55/18 is installed on outlanders ( or the smaller 16" variant) but what brand of tyre
do you have or what do yo prefer?
like to hear some other peoples' experience.
