Tires YOKOHAMA or DUNLOP

For straight time-attack speed it's either the Yokohama A052 (for 1 lap) or the new RE71RS (for several laps).

82k on my 2020 and somehow still rocking the Yokohamas that came with it (just barely above wear bars now). I drive 120 mile round trips on the highway at least 3x per week and travel between 65-90mph. I've never had a single issue.

Had Geolandars and they were fun nice tires

I also replaced my stock Yokohama tires on my OBW with the new wildpeaks AT4w for stronger sidewall and been quite happy with its offroad performance.

I just got the YK-CTX 225/55r19 on my ‘21 CX-5. Yokes is stiffer than the stock tires but happy with the less road noise, better grip and braking, and almost same MPG considering I’ve only driven them for 300+ miles.

Yokohama naman... well... they're Yokohama. Great performance.

My Yokohama have been on my truck for about 7 years, I only drive it a couple thousand miles a year. No cracks and tread is still great.

I am considering two options with one of them being a T rated tire. However, it has deeper treads and it is actually a known brand. I know that a T rated tire will decrease performance and safety but is it worth it over an unknown brand?

The dunlop d214 is not great. Look at the dunlop roadsmart 3 or 4.

Dunlops are my least favorite tires. They suck and gpr300’s, which you have, are cheap even for Dunlops.
