Tires Falken or YOKOHAMA
Falcon Wildpeaks are terrific tires. I have them on my Ram 1500. They do great in the winter. I’m almost at 120k and they are still good for tread for a while. I’ll be getting another set for my Ram when the time comes.
AE86s are light and low-powered enoughthey don’t go through tires too fast.
I track my AE86, and generally my Falken Azenis RT615Ks will last around 5 track days with normal driving in between.
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.
ran them thru a canadian winter and the are very grippy tires on hard packed snow and ice. the tread pattern is insane.
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.
Falken are really great on my Mercedes Benz
I’ve posted my fastest times with A052s and they lasted longer than all others except RS4s.
2 years in with these tires on stock 19’ rims. Live in Chicago. Great in snow / rain. Noticeable tire drone still like them. Sounds like a bad wheel bearing at first.
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.
