I’m running on Yokohama’s. The road-grab, is excellent
I have 215/40R17 fulda sport control 2 on my 320i coupe on replica alpina wheels, i dont know the sizes.. but combined with bilstein b12 coilovers and z3M steering rack its like a go kart
I run Yokohama advan sport v105s that run between 5-600 a tyre and they’re excellent. Softer rubber so they ware a bit quicker but it’s worth it for the grip… they’re an all year tyre too.
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.
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.
I've got a set of Yokohama tires I use for the summer. Very little wear on them, they've seen about 15,000 km total use, not cracked or dry rotted, stored indoors over the winter. They are however from 2016. This year I started hearing a whine in the front end, sounded a bit like a wheel bearing. On freshly laid asphalt it's silent or nearly so. On older pavement it's louder. On the highway in rain, it got REALLY loud, and I could feel a hum in the pedal. Like, loud enough I slowed to about 80kph as I was worried something was going to let go on the car. Pavement went dry? Went back to the normal "bearing" noise. Theres no shaking or balance issues, they drive true and straight, it's just this noise. Car is a 2011 santa fe, in Canada. I bought the tires new in 2016.
