Tires OEM Audi or YOKOHAMA
AD09 was a fair bit faster and clearly had more outright grip. They were much less communicative and harder to drive and keep at the limit. I found they can be overdriven and may overheat more easily too. Grip levels were great though - they were even faster than my AR1s. The main issue is wear. They just don't last very long.
Yokohama Geolandar G015 for the win. Amazing on road manners and fantastic aired down performance with the LT variant
I recommend using Yokohama ES32. Cheaper than Dunlop. Previously I'm a fan Yokohama Tyres.. Been using their midrange C.drive AC01 and C.drive2 AC02.. Give me confidence in wet weathers.
I replaced my OEM Falkein ZIEX tires at exactly 21k miles with some Yokohama Geolandar X-CV's. The new GX's seem to ride fine on them so for my experience with 400 miles on the Geolandars, they have improved ride quality and lowered perceived road noise.
Get some Yokohama Geolander CV4s tires and never have to worry about traction on snow and ice or wearing out winter tires. Best All weather tires you can buy and they’re decent off road. Light weight too. 60k tread wear warranty. I got them on a CX-5 and it’s unstoppable in snow.
2022 Wilderness OB that came with Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 (very good tires--I ordered my car online and it was delivered new) and I just replaced them at 52,000 as they were getting thin.
I’m really happy with their snow performance (geolanders) after 18k miles in all seasons.
So far no issues with these tires at 12k, on my '24 OB. I live in the Bay Area (CA) and go to Tahoe frequently in the winter, the tires are OK in snow but not so bad that I'm gonna upgrade before they're due. They've been fine in pouring rain too.
Ok..1400milies on them now almost all highway but maybe 100city so far. They are fine. Not as quiet as I thought they'd be...but maybe my drive to Tulsa isn't a good gauge.
The stock geolanders are garbage.
