The only *truly* green tire I know of is the Goodyear Electric Drive 2, which is built to complement electric cars and is made of renewable organic materials -- yet has excellent handling, noise, rolling resistance, tread life etc. characteristics.
I've put Yokohama Advan Sport A/S on an E39, a 996, a Z4, and my current 986; I've been very happy with them every time. They're usually a little cheaper than other big name brand tires, they're quiet, and they have plenty of grip for our cars.
I took the 996 and E39 to autox and I had to really push the Yokohamas to get them to start slipping.
Ich fahre schon seit Jahrzehnten mit Goodyear Vector All Seasons und damit in der ganzen Zeit nur ein einziges Mal ein Problem, als ich in einer Schneewehe feststeckte und der Reifen nicht greifen konnte. Ein echter Winterreifen hätte das höchstwahrscheinlich funktioniert. Aber solche Schneewehen gibt es ja schon lange nicht mehr. Mehrverbrauch oder schwammiges Fahrgefühl etc konnte ich nie feststellen. Ich würde mal behaupten, wenn man normal fährt, also so einer ist, der ständig an die Grenzen geht, merkt man keinen Unterschied.
I have the Yokohamas and I was surprised at how quiet they were
Mine was the same way with those tires. I have the Goodyear ElectricDrive 2’s now and it helped a bunch. Quieter, smoother ride, grippier, slippage off the line is no longer an issue, and any loss of efficiency is negligible.
Fahre auf meinem Golf 7 seit einem Jahr Goodyear Vector 4-seasons Gen3 und muss sagen, sowohl im Winter bei Schnee, wie auch im Sommer bei heißen Temperaturen und Regen fahren die sich einwandfrei.
BRAND NEW Yokohama AdvanSport+ A/S tires (Yokohama’s equivalent to Michelin’s Pilot Sport 4 A/S) with less than 600 miles on the tires - no real maintenance (outside of oil changes & tire rotations) needed on this bad boy until at least reaching 105k miles!!
My wife did a set of AD09s in under 1500 miles on the back of our 250bhp Elise Cup. They work but they really do wear.
I have had two Goodyear Eagle LS-2 tires literally tear themselves apart within a year of buying them.
I have them on my 2023 Highlander with 20" wheels, they were the OEM tire for my vehicle. After 2 years and 36k miles, I can say they're absolute trash. Mine just reached 4/32 - 5/32 recently. They slip terribly on wet roads, they don't inspire much confidence at all, and they are one of the worst tires I've ever owned.
