Tires YOKOHAMA or GENERAL TIRE

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

I just did the same switch about 2 weeks ago now. I agree with wet performance, they are fantastic. My two biggest differences I've noticed are the Gmax have a tendency to feel a bit floaty on very specific pavement patterns at highway speed.

From personal experience on small sporty cars:

1. Yokohama Advan

I got my RX-7 a set of General Altimax RT43. For the past few thousand miles, no complaints.

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 had pilot sports and switched to the gmax after having blow out after blow out no issue since making the switch. the general tires imo are far sturdier and have way better wet weather performance.

I have changed my tires from Michelin Pilot Sport 3's to General G Max AS-05.

I recently took my car on an aggressive mountain pass in 70 degree weather and here's my findings.

1)Driving at 80-90mph on straight highway cruising the General G Max create more wind noise than the Pilot Sports.

My all-season tires however, and worn for the path. They are still drivable, but I will definitely be replacing tires before winter.

The General Max tires I had sucked so bad. Alot of delamination of the tread. Some runs I would lose entire chunks of the tire.
