I've stuck with my BF Goodrich Comp A/S 2+. They stick like glue in all weather and dont make any road noise.
Stock Pirellis were getting a little low after about 35,000 miles and decided to upgrade a bit. Went with KO2s 245/65/17. Love the fitment even more. They’re slightly wider than the stock 225s. Make a huge difference off-road and feels more like a truck when driving.
Ko3… 50k miles in mine and lots of tread left
I have Yokohama Geolandar A/T's on my 250 and im satisfied ????
Your KO2s/KO3s are excellent tires, you don't need any other tires for a 3 mile drive. They are 3PMS tires and perform well on ice among AT tires.
You can now get the K 03 in the OEM size for the 20” wheel. I have them and love them but it’s a lot of tire if you’re not off roading.
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.
wife has Michelin Defenders on hers. I put BF Goodrich all terrain ta on mine.
Never had a Yokohama tire last more than 30k miles on three different vehicles, so I won’t be buying them again.
I absolutely hate using the KO2's. They're a long lasting tire with a high load rating, but that's because the rubber compound is hard as steel. They're outright dangerous in wet and icy conditions.
