Tires Pirelli or YOKOHAMA

I purchased four Yokohama Advan Sport A/S+ tires for my Mazda 6 this past February and have found the ride quality and noise mitigation to be a noticable upgrade over the OEM Dunlap tires.

I run Yoko Advan APex AD08Rs on the track and love them. Very sticky, very consistent, great track tires for wear and consistent performance. They last me about 14-18 track days (about a year of tracking for me).

On the street, they seem to work well, maybe a bit less grip than the OE tires when accelerating, but I don’t push it too hard on public roads so it’s tough to judge performance. They aren’t any noisier than the Continentals; if anything they might be a bit quieter.

Great set of tires, I have used multiple sets. Quiet on the road, works well in the wet, and works great for a lapping tire as well and a fraction of the price of its Michelin counterparts.

Just got rid of my Nittos for the Advans, so far a better tire. Best part is one of the few tires in the OE size that has a 25k mileage warranty.

Yokohama ADVAN Sport A/S. I've had them on there for 3 years, I've been happy. I live in a place that doesn't get incredibly cold or snowy, more like 3 seasons with occasional freezing temps, so they do well in those conditions.

Yokohama G015, has cool looking sidewalls, but quiet like standard passenger cars, can still do a surprising amount of light-offroad, great in rain.

They flat spot sitting overnight, but only noticeable really in colder temps (below 40 or so I'd say?)

I only put michelins on mine anymore. They are the best tires made, the worst set I ever owned were Pirellis that lasted legit 12k miles and became unbearably loud.

Here’s the thing though: for me, F1 is the worst advertising for Pirelli. Max’s tyre blowout in Baku and blowouts in Qatar, etc? Michelin, here I come!
