I used them both on street and track on a gsxr600. I loved them for dry weather sporty street riding. On sunny track days, the rear overheats after a couple of laps and the grip noticeable reduces, but even then the rear is still very controllable and completely safe. No warmers needed and excellent wear.
Wife's focus had the yokohoma blue earth gt, they provided good grip wet or dry....managed to outrun essex police with them on when it was stolen as well.
As far as tyres go, I swear by Yokohama’s.
They can be a little soft and they don’t last forever but I’ve never found the limit of grip and I have a highly modified car and drive like I stole it.
Cheap versus branded - branded will be better everytime. In a small car with little brakes you want the best contact possible.
Ending up going with some Yokohama Geolandar CV G058. Had em for 8 days now. I have noticed my fuel economy is slightly better on the G058s
I have the Yokohama Geolander AT. Great on the road, off road, and in the rain!
I had dunlop sport Max with SV6 17 inch rims on my 2009 ve international and man they were excellent tyres heaps of grip in the wet and of course in the dry aswell!
I have the Ascend LX as my summer set but I couldn't quite find a direct comparison talking about the LX compared to the GT The LX's are supposed to have been rated for 85K, but they're already at 6/32s after 25K. Other than that I haven't had much of an issue with them
404s are pretty shit, tbh. Even Shinkos are a significant improvement. The 777 and the 230 Tour Master walk the 404.
The Dunlops didn’t seem all that grippy though; I felt the rear start to slide out inexplicably on a tight turn on a clean road that was only slightly rough and I didn’t feel like I was really pushing the bike all that much - just light throttle and was riding smoothly.
