Tires Pirelli or YOKOHAMA

Cheap tires are easily damaged plus they don't hold as much air pressure get the best tire you possibly can the Yokohama is actually a really heavy-duty good tire you need a really good heavy duty tire.

Junkyard tires for a pizza delivery beater, at 10 bucks each you can't beat it

Yokohama's for the car you care about

I live in Michigan and use Yokohama Avid Ascend GT tires year around. Been great so far!

A few years ago I went to purchase Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 tires 225/45/18r at discount tire...they wouldn't sell AND mount for my Alltrack the Load Index Rating for that size is 91, they told me the minimum LIR is 95 for the Alltrack, they said it's a liability issue for them. I purchased Pirelli P Zero + and they are surprisingly great tires.

From personal experience on small sporty cars:

1. Yokohama Advan

With that said, those Yokes are fantastic. The wet grip on those is unbelievable, especially for a touring tire. The handling was a bit loose, but that is typical of a touring tire that isn’t Michelin.

The yokohamas are probably your best bet, theyre some of the best tires on the market especially given their price. Pirellis are overrated as fuck and are not needed unless youre racing on a track, and they wear out extremely fast. Continentals are definitely the second best choice, especially if youre looking for a summer tire or something very grippy.

I got 40,000 miles on the stock Falkens including snow and ice with conservative driving. Replaced with Pirelli Cinturado Strada "all season*"225/50/r17 from Discount tire for slightly larger tirewheel and wider tire (1/4" more clearance, a liffle more float in sand) but mostly the 70,000 mile warranty. I calculate (by gps and road markers) this gives me about 103% on miles (ie speedo reads a bit low) and I can feel the lower torque vs before. Def a harder compound than the Falkens, so I dont drive as aggressively in corners.

I was a little disappointed with the icy road performance of the Yokohama AVID GT that came on mine.

I have the standard Scorpions (10+ year old product at this point) on my Tig and they are trash. Loud as hell and don't wear well. Don't balance all that great either.
