Ours came with the Toyo and they seem ok. I do hear a lot of folks not liking the Yokohama. From my experience the OE tires usually aren*t the best. You will probably like the Generals more.
I dont know if i bite the bullet and get all 4 or 2. I am thinking 2. Lets see. Man that nail was on the edge. bad luck. Am assuming General would not have any warranty that covers this kindof bad luck. General wear and tear thats it.
AT 23k miles - slow leak in front driver side turned out to be a nail and it always is on the edge. F$R%$##$#$# BHE#R#$#$#@$#$#.
So DT put on a loaner but I am about to get the RT43 Hs which run 114 right now and maybe 50 installation for the front two. The rear are measured at 4/32 at 23k - Yokohama has lot less ham than you'd think. Planning on calling Mazda and Yokohama to unload on them.
I might just do two as I do not like wasting tires due to the environmental cost and will eat the extra 50 for install. DT has been very good for me. Will put the other two at 30k miles and call it done till 80K miles.
What's the treadwear rating on the OEM tires?
they are not rated - Yokohama warranty is 12 months or if damage occurs within first 25% of treadware something something.
Dude at Disco Tire told me if you mismatch tires your TPMS will be on forever. I dont think its true. I set the Altimax at 36 and Geolanders at 36 and it should be fine. I think my Geo's will last about 5 k more miles atleast.
654 for all 4. with warranty. hmmmmm.
Like others had said, with "280 B A" UTQG the rest of your OE Yokohama Geolandar G91A may have about another 5,000-mile tread life left. Considering you'll have 65,000 ~ 70,000 miles on your new General AltiMAX* RT43's, it's not worth the time and hassle just to prolong 2 old tires with another 5,000 miles. Not to mention the performance and safety issues which come with the mix-use of different tires. Bite the bullet.I dont know if i bite the bullet and get all 4 or 2. I am thinking 2. Lets see.

Try 38 psi initially on your new RT43's then adjust the tire pressure according to your taste.
Many aluminum wheels have inner and outer flange for a traditional clip-on wheel weight for tire balancing. Mazda OE alloy wheels can't use clip-on weight but several -oz stick-on weights. You'd see 12 stick-on weights instead of a single 3-oz clip-on weights and also see both inner and outer stick-on weights instead of a single outer clip-on weight as the inner one is hidden. That's why you feel DT was having issues getting these tires balanced. It's normal.Wow, they must have had issues getting these tires balanced. When I filled them up with some more air, noticed that all 4 wheels had tons of weights attached to the inside of them.
