Why choose the Yokohama YK-CTX in 255/65R18?
Built for midsize SUVs, three-row crossovers, and road-trip family vehicles: The 111H SL service description matches standard-load crossover and SUV applications while keeping everyday ride comfort in focus.
All-season CUV performance: The YK-CTX is engineered for crossover drivers who want dependable handling, confident braking and acceleration, and everyday value in changing weather.
Wet traction technology: Yokohama combines an asymmetric tread design, micro-silica compound, pass-through grooves, and four wide circumferential grooves to help move water away from the tread and resist hydroplaning.
Light-snow confidence: 2D and 3D interlocking sipes create biting edges for loose snow, while the compound is designed to stay flexible as temperatures drop.
Quiet, responsive ride: Five-pitch block variation helps reduce road noise, while wide shoulder blocks, a semi-solid center rib, and an optimized contour support steering response and ride comfort.

Customer Reviews
These tires are great!
Put these on our Hyundai Santa Fe just before an around the U.S trip that was around 9,500 miles in all sorts of weather - heat, rain, hail, and snow over 45 days on the road. The tires handle all conditions quite well and the ride is more comfortable than our previous Michelins.
Original owner 2018 Crosstrek 49,000 miles. I bought these tires to replace the OEM (Falken) tires. The car feels a little more responsive under all conditions - to include snow, ice, rain, mud, off road, city, to Interstate freeways. I am not certain, but I think they have a little more road noise, but nothing noticeable unless you are driving in complete silence, and directing your attention to listening for the noise. Meh. Not an issue. It is a great choice city or highway. It made my driving experience feel more responsive.
