Tires YOKOHAMA or Nokia
Get yourself a brand new set of nokian hekkopolita 10 studded winter tires.
Since you’re dedicating this set purely for HPDE and want something that survives endurance-style sessions without overheating or chunking, the Yokohama Advan Neova AD09 is the best pick among everything you listed. It holds grip longer than PS4S, it’s far more heat-resistant than the Continental Sport 02, and unlike the RT660, it doesn’t fall off a cliff halfway through a session. Perfect match for a VA STI on stock power and mild camber.
I’ve had pretty good luck with Yoko avid ascends.
I still miss my 360,000 mile Gen 3 Prius. I took really good care of it. Imported Japanese brand new hybrid battery , new catalytic converter, brand new Yokohama tires all around with brake pads and discs just to get rammed by a drunk driver.
Yokohama, because the CEAT tires that came with my Hunter slip on the grooves of the streets, but I tried a Triumph 400 with Yokohamas and the grip is exceptional.
Slap on a set of studded Nokian Hakkapelitta 10s.... Nothing will stop you
I put 12" Yokohama Geolanders on mine last spring and they have been great on all sorts of terrain and weather.
I have the same noise with the Nokians compared to my outgoing Yokohama Geolandar G015 AT tires. My Yokohamas were dead silent in comparison.
I got Nokian wr d4 and they were manufactured in Russia around the 3rd year they were dry rotting and at year 5 chunks started to fall off the thread pattern.. which looks exactly the same..
Worst tires I've ever had on any vehicle. They came on my new 2024. I replaced at 12k, and should have at 7k. Dangerous shit tires
