Tires Pirelli or YOKOHAMA
The YK740 GTX and now the YK-GTX are the best tires I've ever owned. They're on a 2011 Prius which came with Pirelli tires and I thought those were great. The Yokohama's surpassed them. I'm closing in on 50,000 miles on the YK740's which were the first ones I bought for the vehicle.
If you only drive on snow a handful of days a year, I'd get the Pirellis, they'll be better than the other two most of time.
Nessa medida, os melhores pneus que tive montados num carro meu foram uns yokohama S drive (salvo erro) depois disso tive michelin primacy 4 e não me transmitiam tanta confiança.
I've run both and would prefer the consistency and response of the AD09 over RS4.
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.
I put the scorpions on my wife’s 21 cx9. And they are amazing. Very smooth and quiet.
Yokohama Geolandar G015 for the win. Amazing on road manners and fantastic aired down performance with the LT variant
I like my Sottozeros, good grip, quiet. I also have Corsa P Zeros that I can't wait to wear out and replace with Michelins. Kudos to Pirelli for making a consumer version of an F1 tire, fantastic grip if above 70 degrees and dry, absolute garbage otherwise. Might as well be driving on hockey pucks. Also loud as hell.
I had problems with the Pirellis that came with mine too. Replaced with other Pirellis. More issues.
Not only do the sidewalls flex at highway speed when you do a lane change, they track all over the place and feel skittish. I had my front end (Prius V) checked out by a shop that I trust, and they drove it on the highway. They agree that there is an instability with this tire.
