I run Yoko Advan APex AD08Rs on the track and love them. Very sticky, very consistent, great track tires for wear and consistent performance. They last me about 14-18 track days (about a year of tracking for me).
On the street, they seem to work well, maybe a bit less grip than the OE tires when accelerating, but I don’t push it too hard on public roads so it’s tough to judge performance. They aren’t any noisier than the Continentals; if anything they might be a bit quieter.
Michelin Defender LTX get a big vote from me if the vehicle is a pavement pounder. They're fantastic in the rain and snow, and wear great, too.
Great set of tires, I have used multiple sets. Quiet on the road, works well in the wet, and works great for a lapping tire as well and a fraction of the price of its Michelin counterparts.
I ran the Michelin Defender LTX on our 2017 Explorer and they were great, long wearing, good in the rain and quiet. Not a sporty tire at all though.
Just got rid of my Nittos for the Advans, so far a better tire. Best part is one of the few tires in the OE size that has a 25k mileage warranty.
I put Michelin PS4s on mine and never looked back.
Run any tires that aren't the ones that came on the car. The OEM Dunlops that came on the 2016 GT were terrible. I thought that when I'd change to the Michelin PS3 As, I might notice a bit of a change, but they completely changed how the car drove in every situation. I immediately noticed how nimble, yet planted the car felt after the change.
Personally, I would not get the CrossClimates if you are in Florida. They are like a hybrid winter tire with the snowflake and would probably be great in the rain but might wear quickly down there. I put a set (the car version) on our Corolla before we sent it to our kid up north and they were okay but felt a little "clompy" and loud over bumps.
I whole-heartedly un endorse the Yokohama YK580 that Discount Tire sells exclusively. As I said earlier in the thread 2.5 years ago, I put them on both my vehicles and I loved them at first. They drove great and were quiet. But I got nowhere near the 60k warranty on our Passat or Rout. Only got about 30k on the Rout.
