Tires YOKOHAMA or Firestone

I had a set of Indy500; they performed well for a UHP for the price, but definitely noticeable difference with the set of Conti ExtremeContact Sport 02s that replaced them.

General G-Max RS or Firestone Indy 500s are solid options aswell with good grip and way friendlier pricing. I ran Indy 500s on my old Camaro and they felt great in normal driving without being loud or sketchy in the rain.

Cooper and Firestone make decent tires if you don't plan on tracking it.

Those are good tires but way too heavy at 44lbs vs 24lbs for stock tires.They will kill your mileage and performance. I went with Firestone destination at2 in 235/65 r17. Only a few pounds more (28lbs) than stock and they perform great!

I have Yokohama Geolandar A/T's on my 250 and im satisfied ????

Since you’re dedicating this set purely for HPDE and want something that survives endurance-style sessions without overheating or chunking, the Yokohama Advan Neova AD09 is the best pick among everything you listed. It holds grip longer than PS4S, it’s far more heat-resistant than the Continental Sport 02, and unlike the RT660, it doesn’t fall off a cliff halfway through a session. Perfect match for a VA STI on stock power and mild camber.

I’ve had pretty good luck with Yoko avid ascends.

After installing the *Yokohama YK-GTX All Season* tires, there was an observable drop in mileage.

I went to them for new tires on my Hyundai, my car had 96k on the originals, the wear was even and they still had decent tread. Guess what, they said I needed alignment.

Never had a Yokohama tire last more than 30k miles on three different vehicles, so I won’t be buying them again.
