I went from Q3+ to Q4 for similar reasons. Instantly a success.
With that said, those Yokes are fantastic. The wet grip on those is unbelievable, especially for a touring tire. The handling was a bit loose, but that is typical of a touring tire that isn’t Michelin.
The yokohamas are probably your best bet, theyre some of the best tires on the market especially given their price. Pirellis are overrated as fuck and are not needed unless youre racing on a track, and they wear out extremely fast. Continentals are definitely the second best choice, especially if youre looking for a summer tire or something very grippy.
Continental 860+ I think has been the best reviewed winter tire in EU for several years now. I drive Dunlop, because the Continentals were out of stock.
I now have ZIIIs on my Miata and have been enjoying them. I’m not super picky and they were cheap but the grip is astonishing. Road noise is probably average.
I just had a set of Direzza ZIIIs on my AP2, and switched them out about three weeks ago. I’d put the overall grip from the ZIII slightly higher than as the Falken Azenis RT615 K+ I ran before I switched to the Dunlop. They talk more than the Falkens at the limit, meaning if you like to kick the tail out, they scream like a banshee. They’re a responsive tire, with a stiff sidewall and chunky tread blocks. The tire has a very solid feeling, and doesn’t feel like it deforms a whole lot as you load it up.
The only weak spot were the tires. The OEM Yokohamas inspired zero confidence so they were removed and sold. The cars is super comfortable, uses regular gas and the clutch/Shifter feel are great. LED lighting is a really nice touch as well
guys at the tire shop i go to said that you get good value for money with dunlop tires. they’re high quality but cost less than bridgestone or michelin. i’ve not noticed much of a difference so far as compared to michelin.
I was not a fan of these tires in the snow. Never seemed to have an issue getting the car going, but did have the car oversteer and slide in the snow a few times.
I found them to be pretty garbage for traction even on dry pavement, but they were quiet and smooth and lasted very well.
