Tires YOKOHAMA or BRIDGESTONE
Yokohama Advan Fleva on 19” were suuuper quiet. Pilot Sports are way more noisy. Yokohama Advan Sport are noisy too. I really enjoyed the Flevas.
Was running the Firehawk Indy 500s for the past few seasons. No complaints, great summer tire. Switched to the new Potenza Sport AS tire from Bridgestone, so far so good. Less bite then the Indy's but I'm liking them, good all around performance.
I've worn out several sets of Yokes. Mine wear like butter and only last a few weekends, usually less than 100 runs. But the Yokes offer unparalleled grip of all the 200 tires I've run, especially when cold turn 1 and in cooler ambient temps.
Put these on for the first time after running potenza since new; honestly it’s like having a new car. They are the perfect road tyre for this car.
I went with Bridgestone Potenza Sport AS, as I got too good of a deal to pass up, and have been very happy with them so far!
Been running yokohama advan sports on my GTI for 3 years and they are solid for the money. They aren't as good as my Michelins but for daily driving you would never know. If you drive hard they will talk and are reliable about the break away point and don't do anything you don't expect which is what I want just can't cut a corner quite as good as my Mich on my R32.
im still running a set of Potenza Re002. Theyve been discontinued from Bridgestone, but theyre still around as Firestone Firehawk Indy500. I love them.
The main thing I didn't like about the A052 is the soft sidewall and overall life. I think it's probably the stickiest 200tw tire, better suited for lighter cars, but for my heavy ass Camaro I chewed through the a052 in half the time of RE71r, mostly because I was driving them wrong. I tend to push a little past the grip level from the front on corner entry, it wasn't too big and issue with the RE71r with the stiff sidewall and stiffer compound, but driving like that with the a052 which feels incredibly soft and gummy, I shredded through the shoulders of the tread quick, even with -3.3 front camber.
Bridgestone tires suck, and you'll have to live with them for five years (if they last that long).
Yokohama A-drive: horrível, no seco vai muito bem... na chuva vira sabão, pneu perigoso.
