Tires YOKOHAMA or DUNLOP

3: [Yokohama ADVAN Apex V601]: this is a fav of all the porsche crowd at track days as they offer about 5% less grip than a PS4S or the other two tires I listed, but they will go all day at a track day and never chunk and still get 25k miles out of them.

Yokohama Advan Fleva on 19” were suuuper quiet. Pilot Sports are way more noisy. Yokohama Advan Sport are noisy too. I really enjoyed the Flevas.

I've worn out several sets of Yokes. Mine wear like butter and only last a few weekends, usually less than 100 runs. But the Yokes offer unparalleled grip of all the 200 tires I've run, especially when cold turn 1 and in cooler ambient temps.

Been running yokohama advan sports on my GTI for 3 years and they are solid for the money. They aren't as good as my Michelins but for daily driving you would never know. If you drive hard they will talk and are reliable about the break away point and don't do anything you don't expect which is what I want just can't cut a corner quite as good as my Mich on my R32.

I’ve posted my fastest times with A052s and they lasted longer than all others except RS4s.

AD09 are a good track tyre that is fine on the street. Didn't notice any degradation in noise or comfort compared to street tyres.

Both Bridgestone and Yokohama make 225/50-15s, which should work well on your wheels, too.

20k miles, wore completely. However gotta say that they perform great when new/mid life.

Grippier enough to keep the car balanced on hard situations.

Cons: Dunlop SportmaxxGt tires are run flat, so can be noisy or tend to be harsh at ride.

I felt that the tires were too hard and were easy to make noise with and kind of slide. I got tired of it and put on some temp tires until the tread wore out.

I live in north Georgia and last winter kept the Dunlops on. Once the temps were consistently in the low 30s it was like driving with Fisher Price wheels. I constantly had to go slow through turns and could feel slipping even at low speeds. It was not a fun time. I switched to Michelin Pilot Sport 4 all seasons this winter and the difference in feel in the cold is incredible. It’s been in the 20s this week and the tires aren’t slipping at all.
