Tires MICHELIN or YOKOHAMA
I just got the Michelin e.Primacy’s and absolutely love them. No idea for longevity but sound level and handling have been amazing.
From roughly May to November, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. These tires fucking rule, though they make doing burnouts kind of hard (and expensive).
The shitty months, Continental Extreme Contact DWS06+.
I just got some Michelin pilot sport all seasons put on mine, same size tire as yours. So far they've been handling really well and the traction is much an improvement over the worn out pirellis I had.
I prefer Michelin Tires on my vehicle. They're more expensive but worth it.
I have been using the Michelin Cross Climate 3 for a few weeks in eastern Europe, Romania. So far I have used it in 10 cm deep snow, compacted snow, wet roads, inclines +10%, in a temperature range from -18 to +3 Celsius and have had zero issues so far.
I have no complaints with my Pilot Alpin 5’s. Two seasons.
Since you’re dedicating this set purely for HPDE and want something that survives endurance-style sessions without overheating or chunking, the Yokohama Advan Neova AD09 is the best pick among everything you listed. It holds grip longer than PS4S, it’s far more heat-resistant than the Continental Sport 02, and unlike the RT660, it doesn’t fall off a cliff halfway through a session. Perfect match for a VA STI on stock power and mild camber.
Am facut uber o perioada. Am avut in acea perioada Crossclimate 2 care au dus onorabil orice drum pt 50.000km. Cand m-am hotarat sa le schimb am zis sa incerc si Nokian Seasonproof. Nu exista efectiv comparatie. Nokianurile noi erau mai slabe decat Michelinurile vechi si uzate la toate tipurile de drum. Michelin de acum\u2026 nu mai fac experimente.
FWIW, Tire Rack tests showed that Pilot Sport A/S 4 had a big impact on EV efficiency.
Michelin AS are at least 10% worse efficiency than most OEM tires. So it's a double whammy, those new tires are probably 15% worse than the summers. Triple whammy with winter and it's a total 35% lost range. ... I'm in the minority but I don't buy Michelins and the 10% range hit they come with.
