I have Bridgestones in my GTI in 17s with 215/50r17 and obviously don't feel as sporty as 19s but they're great for winter.
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.
I’ve had pretty good luck with Yoko avid ascends.
I still miss my 360,000 mile Gen 3 Prius. I took really good care of it. Imported Japanese brand new hybrid battery , new catalytic converter, brand new Yokohama tires all around with brake pads and discs just to get rammed by a drunk driver.
Yokohama, because the CEAT tires that came with my Hunter slip on the grooves of the streets, but I tried a Triumph 400 with Yokohamas and the grip is exceptional.
Bridgestone Turanza Quiettrak
I promise you they are the smoothest, quietest, and best all around for daily driving
I just bought the Bridgestone prestige. It’s a brand new model with few reviews. It’s an all weather that is supposed to be quiet. I only have a couple hundred miles in it so far, but it is quiet and I have been happy with it.
Pilot sport as4. I’ve run potenzas before and didn’t like how they rode after 10k miles.
I had the Yokohama with orange oil on my previous Crosstrek, and it slid in every turn no matter how slow I went.
Our new 2025 CRV needed 4 new tires at only 9k miles. All 4 tires were cupped and fraying despite looking new. Felt and sounded like I was driving a helicopter.
