Tires YOKOHAMA or NITTO
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.
I've been running a 17" steel rim and a heavy 35" Nitto Mud Grappler (~120lbs total) off the stock mount for years with no issues.
Nitto motivo 365. They're sticky while also being rally inspired with good tread ware so far. And they're "all weather" basically a more robust all season that just does a little better in dirt or snow while still being very much a street tire.
I have the Yokohamas and I was surprised at how quiet they were
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!!
I swapped over to the SL 285/70R17 Nitto Terra Grappler and my gas mileage isn’t being affected a whole lot. I managed to get back into the 20mpg range over a 400 mile highway loop I did.
I wholeheartedly endorse yokohamas. OEMish weight, excellent in nasty weather and no excessive noise driving
I have a set on my 06 corolla. I remember noticing the floating feeling with these. They do last longer than others. Im looking for a bit more stability without breaking the bank.
The worst tier that I have ever purchased. I had these put on my Alfa Romeo Stelvio, The tire noise is horrible, there is a lot of humming noise at high way speed, and it vibrates between 75 - 90 mph, i have done countless balancing and even tested the road force, the steering wheel vibration persists.
I’ve put 200k plus on ridge grapplers in Wisconsin winters. They are terrible in the snow. Awesome off-road in mud, but not good winter tires.
