Our take

The Yokohama YK-CTX is a solid choice for drivers who value longevity and comfort in a touring all-season tire. With a treadlife score of 10 and a 60,000-mile warranty, it aligns well with the category average, making it a reliable option for long-distance commuters. Its dry grip rating of 8.5 is above average, ensuring dependable traction on dry surfaces.

However, the tire's wet grip score of 5.5 is a notable weakness, falling short of the category benchmark of 6.9. This could be a concern for drivers who frequently encounter wet conditions. The tire lacks a 3PMSF rating, which limits its capability in light snow, unlike some competitors such as the Continental ProContact TX.

In comparison to its competitors, the BFGoodrich Advantage Control offers superior wet grip, making it a better choice for those prioritizing wet weather performance. While the YK-CTX excels in treadlife and comfort, it may not be the best fit for drivers in rainy regions. Consider the BFGoodrich or Continental options if wet grip is a top priority.

Pros

  • Treadlife score of 10, backed by a 60,000-mile warranty, aligns well with the category average of 64,578 miles.
  • Dry grip rating of 8.5 exceeds the category average of 7.8, providing reliable traction on dry roads.
  • Comfort and noise scores both at 8, matching the category benchmarks, offer a smooth and quiet ride.

Cons

  • The wet grip performance is below average, making this tire less suitable for drivers in regions with frequent rain.
  • Wet grip score of 5.5 is significantly below the category average of 6.9, which could be a concern in rainy conditions.
  • Lacks the 3PMSF rating, which some competitors like the Continental ProContact TX might offer for light snow capability.
  • The BFGoodrich Advantage Control offers better wet grip, making it a preferable option for those prioritizing wet weather performance.
