Tires YOKOHAMA or NANKANG

My 15 has Yokohama Avid Ascent GTs in 195/55R16. The wet handling has been really good in my experience.

I changed from Ko2 to Geolanders. It's been working great for me.

I had a set of Nankang NS-25 UHP tires on my mazda 3 turbo sedan. They were great tires and handled really well. Got about 30k miles out of them. I was pretty pleased, they even did alright in snow.

So to create some perspective, my AR1’s on a small light car (Miata), lasted for 5 track days. Assuming an average of 20 mins per session, and around four sessions in morning and four in afternoon, we can assume I’m doing around 160 minutes or driving per day. So in theory I put 13 hours on those tyres!

I just put Yokohama Advan Sport A/S+ on, and so far they have been great. Not as expensive as Pilot Sport 4s, but definitely not cheap, either. I’m less than 1k miles in, but I like them a lot so far.

My 2023 OB has 22k miles on the Avid GT’s and they are wearing very well in my opinion. I may replace them with the same tire when it becomes necessary. Also, ten inches of snow is no problem with these tires.

yokohama is better. i believe nankang is budget shit

the fleva v701 is a much better tire but even then there are still better options

Had new 701’s on my wagon when I bought it, seemed like a decent tire.

My i3 had nank’s. I destroyed the rears in less that 10k km.
