July 4th coming up. There will def be sales. Get tires with more tread, 85000 if possible. Yokohamas (avid ascend) can usually be found for decent.
I think the yomohamas are awesome. Got some for the stock size for my 2010 sport and its a smooth ride for sure, def cuts down road noise too imo and i came from some firestone tires.. Treadwear rating on those will also last you quite a while, just keep up to date with those tire rotations.
I had AD09’s on my GT4 when I had it and loved them. Not as much ultimate grip as some tires named in here but grip was great and you just couldn’t kill them, you could hammer them for 30 minute sessions and they wouldn’t fade, lasted a ton of track days
I prefer the Yoko AD09, they are consistent and manage heat well.
Cooper's aren't THAT much more and they're great tires. I got 67,000 out of the ones on my 2003 Subaru Forester XS (RIP) they were at the end of their life though.
Went from stock Bridgestones to Cooper ATT. Seems to be quieter and defintely a better ride. Not sure why a lot of people prefer Bridgestones pero I find them stiffer even if inflated to just below recommended.
Yoko Earth 1 is good. Been using it for 2 years now.
Noticeably less road noise compared to Apollo.
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.
Yeah, the OEM Avid GT tires are pretty generic. I have them on my 21 Outback. They don't have a lot of tread life. I'm getting close to 36k mark and they are due for replacement.
I hate them. Awful in rain and snow.
