Tires YOKOHAMA or Firestone

I run Yokohama advan sport v105s that run between 5-600 a tyre and they’re excellent. Softer rubber so they ware a bit quicker but it’s worth it for the grip… they’re an all year tyre too.

July 4th coming up. There will def be sales. Get tires with more tread, 85000 if possible. Yokohamas (avid ascend) can usually be found for decent.

I think the yomohamas are awesome. Got some for the stock size for my 2010 sport and its a smooth ride for sure, def cuts down road noise too imo and i came from some firestone tires.. Treadwear rating on those will also last you quite a while, just keep up to date with those tire rotations.

I had AD09’s on my GT4 when I had it and loved them. Not as much ultimate grip as some tires named in here but grip was great and you just couldn’t kill them, you could hammer them for 30 minute sessions and they wouldn’t fade, lasted a ton of track days

I prefer the Yoko AD09, they are consistent and manage heat well.

Yoko Earth 1 is good. Been using it for 2 years now.

Noticeably less road noise compared to Apollo.

Yoko earth 1 for the win. Such a great product but I have read mixed reviews where people complain about the road noise. I myself have them installed and have travelled around 30k km on them. Happy customer so far.

2019 stock tires sounded and handled great but were soft and didn't last long. I was buying new before 35K.

I’ve gone through 3 Geo’s in less than 20k

Fuck those shoes

I wanted to write this because there are almost no reviews on this tire online. Firestone claims it's a big improvement over the previous generation. Traction is good on wet and dry roads. Slippage prediction is also decent. Road noise is fine. Ride comfort (in terms of feeling the road) is really good. Steering responsiveness is ABYSMAL. It's like driving an aquarium on top of a trampoline. Due to the fact the sidewall seems to be made of marshmallows, it's quite terrifying doing any aggressive driving. Highway driving, making turns specifically, is terrifying. Overall: Do not buy unless it's for rears only, or you're driving a car that is exceptionally light weight. If the steering and body movement responsiveness was fixed, this would be an excellent tire. Sadly the responsiveness is so bad, the tire feels legitimately dangerous.
