Tires YOKOHAMA or OEM Volkswagen

I have always found Yokohamas to be good. I find the A drive to be good grip, very durable and reasonably priced.

I've put Yokohama G015 all-terrains on Subaru AWD wagon for similar duties before.

The Advan A052 is the tire that most of the high power RS3/TTRS straight line dudes are moving to, that is fine on regular, dry roads but offers a better 60' than PS4S.

I loved the yoko ao52, im currently running the toyo rr (less grip but longer life).

I purchased four Yokohama Advan Sport A/S+ tires for my Mazda 6 this past February and have found the ride quality and noise mitigation to be a noticable upgrade over the OEM Dunlap tires.

These tires were just taken off a two-week old 2022 Volkswagen GTI. The tires were driven lightly during break-in period before dismounting with only 315 miles on them. They are in as-new condition.

I run Yoko Advan APex AD08Rs on the track and love them. Very sticky, very consistent, great track tires for wear and consistent performance. They last me about 14-18 track days (about a year of tracking for me).

On the street, they seem to work well, maybe a bit less grip than the OE tires when accelerating, but I don’t push it too hard on public roads so it’s tough to judge performance. They aren’t any noisier than the Continentals; if anything they might be a bit quieter.

I think the single largest shortcoming is the tires. After that, probably the suspension. After I owned it for about 6 months I noticed that driving over potholes and speedbumps was not nearly as good as I was expecting out of a lifted car.

I was not a fan of these tires in the snow. Never seemed to have an issue getting the car going, but did have the car oversteer and slide in the snow a few times.
