which one
I need to get new tires for my wife's 07, I'm debating between Bridgestone or Yokoyamas. They both have rebates right now and the Yokohama is a bit higher.
Any ideas, suggestions would be greatly apprecciated.

Umm, that's a bit vague.....Do you have specific models from each manufacturer in mind?
I have Parada Spec X's (Stock 18" size) on mine. This car served weekend warrior and inclement weather duties for first 5 years of its life, but has now been a DD (mix of stop-n-go and good backroads) for past 7 months. They do have decent grip in all conditions and have handled light snow fairly well. One thing I've noticed is that the sidewall seems to have gotten softer as miles/time have worn on in the DD days. While ultimate grip is decent, I can feel them fold over a good bit in hard cornering. They do ride better than the OEM's did; softer and quieter, but I may look for a stiffer sidewall tire next time around. They're also fair amount cheaper than other brands.

Neither. Had both, didn't like them. However, if I had to choose...Yoko

I am on my second set of Bridgestone Dueler HL Alenza. Got nearly 50k miles before needing to replace after only 28k on OEM Michelins. Was happy enough overall to get them again. To me they handled very similar to the oem without wearing out so fast.

But the OEM's are dogs. The RDX is only half as much fun and three quarters as safe with a crappy set of tires.
