I have a 2016 Forester with yokohama G91F tires and just had inspection they said tire tread was good except the side are worn down so I required new tire to pass. I found multiple issues with this tire online. The tire is for passenger vehicles but says it can be used on crossover and SUV but talked with several tire shops that all recommend using SUV specific tires as they see the same issue over and over with certain multi category tires like this where because of ride height, vehicle weight and center of gravity when rounding corners these tires get worn down really quickly because of it being more passenger vehicle centric because the edges are more rounded where as SUV specific tires have more of a flat bottom and square edges so they don't slip. I also believe this is why a lot of complaints talk about poor performance in wet weather as the slip in corners. These are standard on Forester and yokohama won't cover oem tires at all. I believe this needs investigated especially since they just started selling their new ascent 3 row SUV not sure if it has same tires. If you wish to contact me my email is [xxx] I would be willing to help research and send proof from user reviews and tire dealers plus can take photos.
