I have the Yokohamas and I was surprised at how quiet they were
BRAND NEW Yokohama AdvanSport+ A/S tires (Yokohama’s equivalent to Michelin’s Pilot Sport 4 A/S) with less than 600 miles on the tires - no real maintenance (outside of oil changes & tire rotations) needed on this bad boy until at least reaching 105k miles!!
I wholeheartedly endorse yokohamas. OEMish weight, excellent in nasty weather and no excessive noise driving
Nothing but good luck so far.
Yokohama geolander g015, performed amazing in slush and heavy snow and yes they have the 3PMS rating
I had 3 sets of Yoks in the past. I get about 160 runs out of them. Courses are 30-40 seconds, usually asphalt. They were at the wear bars in one season (the 160 runs) and actually corded on the insides first from the camber I run. One of the sets in my garage is completely slick with almost no visible tread left. I prefer tires that wear so you feel like you're using the entire tire. I want them to look like yours in 160 runs or about 25 events so I can get fresh ones in the spring and not have to store them.
The stock tires are good tires, relatively quiet, and perform well in all conditions.
I still love the R1Rs, but they are not good in the wet, IMO. I'll throw in a +1 for the Yoko AD09s.... they grip somewhat better than the R1R and are way, way better in the rain.
They were absolutely terrible on dry packed snow during a surprise squall I got stuck driving in. Not very surprising as that’s really the worst case scenario for all-weather tires—the snow fills the tread and stays there. Otherwise they have been fine, although the seem to be disintegrating in a weird way. They only have 16k miles but bits of tread are chipping off, rather than the tire wearing down.
I felt that the tires were too hard and were easy to make noise with and kind of slide. I got tired of it and put on some temp tires until the tread wore out.
