Tires YOKOHAMA or GT Radial

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

GT Radial are better price with better performance Zero complaints would recommend.

Traction is fantastic ????

These tires are absolutely amazing the grip is excellent drive is smooth quiet and stops on a dime. Firestone were absolutely shit. The Firestone wore out from general use way ahead of manufacturing specs. Wore my brakes out more than once. Never stopped as intended. Slip and spin when it rained had traction issues during dry weather. I would absolutely recommend GT radial.

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.

I can't tell you what to get (not enough time on my Yokohama Geolander X-CV to make an assessment on wear but so far they handle well) but I can tell you what NOT to get. Avoid the Allenzas at all costs.

Wrangles sucked. The Yokohama was a nice tire but did not last.
