[NWFRS]

My car has done a lot of sitting these last few years, and I was wondering if I ought to be thinking about swapping my tires out soon? I’ve been on the same set of Yokohama YK580 for eight or nine years now. I have about 35k miles on my car. No visible checking or cracking as far as I can see.

I used to have a real short commute to work, then to school, and now I just work from home and commute my wife to work with her RAV4. My Scion has basically become a recreational vehicle.

I’m also open to suggestions. There’s a lot of new stuff on the market and I haven’t kept up on it. Living in the PNW, my main concern is traction in the rain. We get a lot of standing water on the roads here, in all seasons, but not enough snow to justify a second set of wheels and tires. I recently had a set of Yokohama YK740 GTX put on our RAV4. My Scion is on 16x7.5” wheels. I like the extra sidewall. The car handles just fine for me, and some of our road surfaces are really rough here.
