Tires Falken or YOKOHAMA
Yokohama tires. I love yokos. They have a great balance between cost, wear, and feel. We usually get a 3PMS variant of some sort. Currently CV4S models on the 19 XC90.
I go through 2-3 sets a season on my C5 z06. I consider it the price to be competitive in CAM.
I've heard they don't last long but they are doing great on my Lotus Elise.
I'm on my 3rd season on mine with about 60 runs and the same 60 second course a season and I just put in my best performance last month.
Yoks are fast asf. Between the yoks and my new years resolution of "don't be a bitch" I picked up something like 2 seconds over last year.
Here's how my tires look after this season. This is \~75-80 runs total on a 60s course on concrete. There's still meat on the bone, but I don't think there's another 80 left. I'll be buying more tires by the middle of next season at the latest.
I just purchased new Yokohama @ $230 each. I didn't notice a difference in sound and still getting the same 3.2 kwh as OEM Dunlops. With 11/32 depth, my Ariya handles better with the Yokohamas.
I feel pretty confident with the car, especially with 255 RT660's. Car has some pretty insane grip with that setup
Had AT3s on my Tacoma and they were good tires but I only got 40k before they started really sliding in light rain. Switched to Pirelli Scorpions last month as they were $180 vs $211 for the AT4 at Discount. Pirellis are very quiet and smooth so far.
The worst tire had to be Yokohama geolanders. They would break traction so much in the rain it was terrifying.
Falken Wildpeaks are the worst A/Ts I've run. Hard as hell and sketchy in the rain. I only had 20k ish miles before I sold them, but they were progressively getting louder.
