Shopping Yokohama in Detroit? Detroit Tire Shop stocks and orders across the Yokohama range for drivers in Detroit, MI. The badge on the sidewall matters less than which line inside it suits how you actually drive, and what that line costs once it is on the car — so tell us the vehicle and the miles you put on it, and we will tell you which Yokohama is worth your money and which one is not.

What Yokohama costs installed in Detroit
A Yokohama price that is only the tire is not a price. Our quote is the out-the-door total: the tires, mounting, balancing, new valve stems or TPMS service kits, disposal of the old set, and tax. And before anything is mounted we read you the DOT code off the sidewall — the last four digits are the week and year that tire was built, because new is not a date.
Yokohama is a Japanese brand with motorsport roots, and it suits drivers who care how a car turns in. Its range runs from AVID Ascend GT touring tires and the ADVAN Sport A/S+ performance all-season to three Geolandar truck and SUV lines and the iceGUARD iG53 winter tire, sold in Detroit.
Yokohama grew out of Japanese motorsport, and that heritage shows in who buys it: drivers who notice steering response and want a car to feel connected on a corner. If you care mostly about the longest possible tread life or the quietest possible ride, the premium touring names are a better starting point.
The catalogue is broader than the performance reputation suggests. There is a sedan touring tire, a performance all-season, three Geolandar lines for crossovers, SUVs and pickups, and a dedicated winter tire, so the real question is which one matches your vehicle.
Which Yokohama line matches my car and how I drive?
AVID Ascend GT is the touring all-season for sedans and crossovers. It is the sensible pick for everyday commuting where comfort and steady wear matter more than sharpness.
ADVAN Sport A/S+ is the performance all-season. Choose it if you want crisper turn-in on a sporty sedan or coupe but still need a tire that works in cool and wet weather. It is the line where the brand's motorsport reputation is most relevant.
On the truck and SUV side, Geolandar CV G058 is a touring all-season for crossovers and SUVs. Geolandar A/T G015 is the all-terrain for SUVs and pickups that leave the pavement now and then. Geolandar X-AT is the aggressive hybrid all-terrain for trucks, and a bolder tread like that generally brings more road noise than a highway tire.
What do I read off the car before ordering?
Start with the placard on the driver's door jamb. It lists the size, load index and speed rating the manufacturer intended. Use those figures rather than copying the tires currently on the wheels, since a previous owner may have changed them.
Then look at the sidewall for the four-digit DOT build date: the first two digits are the week, the last two the year. Ask to see that date on the actual tire before it is mounted, because a tire can sit for a long time before it is sold.
How does a Yokohama treadwear warranty work?
Manufacturer treadwear warranties are generally pro-rated: the credit shrinks as the tread wears down, so a tire that fails early is credited more than one that is nearly finished. Wear caused by misalignment, underinflation, or curb and impact damage is usually excluded.
Terms differ from one line to the next, so ask which terms apply to the exact line you are being quoted. A performance line and a touring line should not be assumed to carry the same coverage.
Is the ADVAN Sport A/S+ good enough for a Detroit winter?
It is an all-season, so it is built to handle cool and wet roads, but it is not a dedicated winter tire. If your winter involves regular snow, the iceGUARD iG53 is the line made for it, and you can ask about running it as a seasonal set.
Is Yokohama a premium brand?
Its positioning is performance heritage rather than a pure premium touring identity. It appeals most to drivers who value handling feel, so compare it against premium touring brands if comfort and longevity are your top priorities.
Which Yokohama line is for a pickup?
Geolandar A/T G015 suits pickups and SUVs that see mixed use, and Geolandar X-AT is the more aggressive hybrid all-terrain for trucks. Match the choice to how much of your driving is off pavement.
