Tires YOKOHAMA or WEST LAKE

I have a set of Yokohama BluEarths, $120 per wheel including labour

3: [Yokohama ADVAN Apex V601]: this is a fav of all the porsche crowd at track days as they offer about 5% less grip than a PS4S or the other two tires I listed, but they will go all day at a track day and never chunk and still get 25k miles out of them.

Yokohama Advan Fleva on 19” were suuuper quiet. Pilot Sports are way more noisy. Yokohama Advan Sport are noisy too. I really enjoyed the Flevas.

I've worn out several sets of Yokes. Mine wear like butter and only last a few weekends, usually less than 100 runs. But the Yokes offer unparalleled grip of all the 200 tires I've run, especially when cold turn 1 and in cooler ambient temps.

Been running yokohama advan sports on my GTI for 3 years and they are solid for the money. They aren't as good as my Michelins but for daily driving you would never know. If you drive hard they will talk and are reliable about the break away point and don't do anything you don't expect which is what I want just can't cut a corner quite as good as my Mich on my R32.

I’ve posted my fastest times with A052s and they lasted longer than all others except RS4s.

AD09 are a good track tyre that is fine on the street. Didn't notice any degradation in noise or comfort compared to street tyres.

I have Westlake SL369s on the back of my old truck, but I only put about 1000 miles on them before the engine blew up. Can report back once I get it running again I guess.

I hate them. Awful in rain and snow.

I've got a set of Yokohama tires I use for the summer. Very little wear on them, they've seen about 15,000 km total use, not cracked or dry rotted, stored indoors over the winter. They are however from 2016. This year I started hearing a whine in the front end, sounded a bit like a wheel bearing. On freshly laid asphalt it's silent or nearly so. On older pavement it's louder. On the highway in rain, it got REALLY loud, and I could feel a hum in the pedal. Like, loud enough I slowed to about 80kph as I was worried something was going to let go on the car. Pavement went dry? Went back to the normal "bearing" noise. Theres no shaking or balance issues, they drive true and straight, it's just this noise. Car is a 2011 santa fe, in Canada. I bought the tires new in 2016.
