YOKOHAMA › Tires

Rating 4.0

Grip:
Noise:

I like Yokohama's approach: In regards to handling, the tires were not destined for track duty, so we experienced a level of performance that was slightly above the standard OE tire on most modern passenger vehicles. A few of us did the sentiment that the tire did improve its ability to stay planted after a few hot laps, which would give credence to Yokohama\u2019s claim that the special compound will change its handling characteristics for the better when driven aggressively.

Pros: improved ability to stay planted

Cons: not destined for track duty

Vehicle: MINI

I had the same tire in 245-45-17 (I think that was it) with a 99 load rating on my former '00 and liked them a lot. Quiet, comfortable, decent handling, and great price at the time.

Pros: quiet, comfortable, decent handling

Here's what a 245/40-17 Bridgestone RE11 looks like after 18mths on the R - over 200 autox runs and 8k street miles. I run 40-44 PSI hot on a well setup car. Note that there's minimal indication of excessive scrub or rollover. These tires are wearing great and were good enough for top pax time in a 60 car field at a recent local event

Pros: wearing great, top pax time

Cons: none

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mileage: 12875 km

DUNLOP › Tires

Rating 4.0

Grip:

think I actually have been running my dunlaps at 36 front 38 rear cold maybe a couple psi more, can't remember since its been so long. It usually gains a couple psi (think it was getting to 40 all around hot) on the first run and I bleed back down to that point.

Pros: stiff enough sidewall

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Grip:

here in MN were we rally-x in fields, clay, and grass....I use 185/60/14 winterforces....I run intertubes in the fronts to avoid debeading.

Pros: good for rallycross

Cons: prone to debeading

Rating 3.0

Grip:

I owned its predecessor, the 512. It got me to work and back in the snow, not well, but whatever, it's an A/S tire. They wore well. In fact two of them are still okay, but I screwed up the fronts with a bad alignment.

Pros: wore well, still okay

Cons: not well in snow

Grip:

a side wall bubble is dangerous.. make sure if you plan on driving on it for a period of time to keep you tire pressure perfect if not a bit lower then the factory suggest.. my wife had a small bubble and over inflated a few 5 PSI and blew it out on the highway 10miles later.. you never know when they are going to blow so try to get a new tire ASAP..

Pros: keep tire pressure perfect

Cons: sidewall bubble is dangerous

Vehicle: Volkswagen
