Tires YOKOHAMA or MRF

At the Beeville Pro Solo I ran both the Vitour and Yokohama on my AST/STR ND, and went faster on the Yokohama. On the Yokohama, the front would just GO, with good entry rotation.

Have these on my 981S, they are excellent. I have just done weekend drives, they have great manners. Looking forward to racing them when I switch from skis to cars.

Have driven my set (255 40 R17) for around 70 laps of the Nürburgring Nordschleife, grip is quite good, don't take too long to heat up, and have excellent heat resistance. I can empty a fuel tank (5 laps) without noticing a performance drop off.

I have AD09's on my M2 Competition. Only have one autox and about 500 miles of street driving on them, but I like them so far.

When I got my 18 Limited, first thing I did was sell the stock tires on Craigslist. I went with the Yokohama Geolander AT tires, this was before there was a Wilderness trim level as those tires are what are on that car. 60,000 miles later they are getting down to a point where this would be the last summer I drive on them. Overall I enjoyed them, very good in the snow, quiet, good in the rain too and here in the PNW we get a fair amount of that.

Yokohama has given me more miles but depending on how you drive

Only I know how I managed to use these tyres for 17000 kms. Got the rear tyre changed with MRF RevZ radials as soon as the tyre wore out and it’s been a huge difference. Leaning on corners has also become way easier now.

Usually should have ideally clocked 40K. But MRF is like that. I changed mine only after 20K after side wall cut and moved to YOKOHAMA Geolander H/T.

I waffled between the Yokohama Geolander GO15's and the MS2s. Started with the Yokos and my mileage dropped, was stiffer over bumps, but was a tank in the messy snow we got before Xmas. Swapped them out for the MS2 under the 30 day satisfaction warranty, and I wish I hadn't.

Tires have always been the downfall of the great AWD system they have. Yoko's were the worst!
