Remember reading a pretty extensive test of SUV tyres in a Auto Express latter end of last year. Wranglers and Conti's faired best based on all the tests - dry & wet handling, braking etc plus noise levels. I seem to recall that Yokohamas came second from bottom of about 8 brands tested. Guess it's a case of what your expectations are and what you want to pay. Reading various reports and having used numerous makes over the years, I guess all I can add is - you don't get very good tyres at budget prices. OR do you other forum members know better?

here is the results of the review...

I'm Amazed that people scrimp on something so important as tyres,
During the snow, I was walking the dog past abandoned cars, noticed how many had budget brands on (must of been I'd never heard of em) and loads with hardly any tread left.

A Mate of mine thinks he's clever gettin tyres for £55ea on his 320d-and changes them one at a time when they are borderline illegal, He had to get the bus to work for a fortnight during the snow

I change mine when I notice i'm not getting optimum road holding, last set had 3m left.

I agree
I just changed mine, had 3, 3, 4, & 5mm left.
I always changes my tyres as a set of 4, and never go below 3mm 

I changed mine at about 5mm before they got to low to be worth selling on fleabay  At work
At home
