So one of our Gen 5's tires found a nice sized screw last night. The OEM Bridgestones are just above the wear bars at 57K miles so we are looking to replace. We have no complaints with our OE tires as we are in SoCal where the weather is usually dry and the driving is mostly freeway (~140 miles/day). Better mileage and lower noise would be nice to have. These are the larger 225/60/18s.

One of the in-stock tires at our local store is the Falken PRO G5 CSV which I can find no reviews of except on the America's Tire website. It is only $108/tire with a 60K mile warranty. Anyone here try this model? I'm guessing it is a model made just for this store.

We're on our 9th Subaru over the last 40+ years. We're currently in a 2018 Outback Limited with 226/60/18s which at 40k are ready for replacement. America's (Discount) Tire is recommending the Falken Pro G5 CSVs, but on my past Outbacks I'd typically replaced with Yokohamas. I've been consistently pleased with the Yokohamas, but the Falken price would be easier on my wallet. I don't want to sacrifice the performance of the drive., so...any advice?
