YOKOHAMA Tires

Yoks are fast asf. Between the yoks and my new years resolution of "don't be a bitch" I picked up something like 2 seconds over last year.

Here's how my tires look after this season. This is \~75-80 runs total on a 60s course on concrete. There's still meat on the bone, but I don't think there's another 80 left. I'll be buying more tires by the middle of next season at the latest.

Pros: fast, improved performance
Cons: wear quickly

Rating 4.5

On my C7, I moved up to the RBF 600 and it's been much better, handling the higher brake temps from the heavier car.

Pros: handles higher temps, much better

Firestone Tires

A nice budget summer tire, if maybe a bit outdated. They were very well regarded on Tire Rack as a budget option for awhile. Unless you’re trying to run 10/10th on the street, they’ll be good. I did find them to run a bit narrower for the same section width than the Michelins I replaced.

Pros: nice budget summer tire, good for street
Cons: a bit outdated, run a bit narrower

I've been running the Motul RBF 600 in my C7 for track and autocross. I flush once a year. It works fine.

Pros: works fine

AP RACING Brake pads

Rating 3.0

I've got AP Racing brakes all around on my C7, running Ferodo DSUNO pads. While they perform great on track, they squeal HORRIBLY, no matter what temps they're at. While I can chalk that up as a characteristic of this compound, I've ran their DS3.12 on my other car and they only squealed mildly on the street. What concerns me is when driving at slow speeds, I can still hear a faint squeaking when off the brakes as well. When I spin the wheels in the air. I can feel the drag a bit as well.

Pros: great performance on track
Cons: horrible squealing, faint squeaking, slight drag
