Ad09 is a fantastic tire for your use case, I used to run nankang ar1, now I run ado9 and it's a great tire.
For straight time-attack speed it's either the Yokohama A052 (for 1 lap) or the new RE71RS (for several laps).
I just put these on our Commodore in 245/45R18. They replaced a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE003's. Initial impression is that they aren't any noisier than the Potenza's, possibly a bit quieter. Haven't driven in a heavy rain yet but the performance on slick roads was also good. My biggest concern is that they were going to totally spoil the handling but cornering at civilised speeds is still satisfying. Certainly they don't have anywhere near the dry grip of the Potenza's but they're fine for everyday use.
82k on my 2020 and somehow still rocking the Yokohamas that came with it (just barely above wear bars now). I drive 120 mile round trips on the highway at least 3x per week and travel between 65-90mph. I've never had a single issue.
Had Geolandars and they were fun nice tires
I also replaced my stock Yokohama tires on my OBW with the new wildpeaks AT4w for stronger sidewall and been quite happy with its offroad performance.
I just got the YK-CTX 225/55r19 on my ‘21 CX-5. Yokes is stiffer than the stock tires but happy with the less road noise, better grip and braking, and almost same MPG considering I’ve only driven them for 300+ miles.
They ride great, have great traction in wet weather and do not seem to exhibit excessive wear. Well priced compared to Bridgestones and I have no complaints.
I can't tell you what to get (not enough time on my Yokohama Geolander X-CV to make an assessment on wear but so far they handle well) but I can tell you what NOT to get. Avoid the Allenzas at all costs.
It's doesn't matter what you do. Seems like Bridgestone tires only last around 40 ish. Learned that with the quiettracks.
