Tires YOKOHAMA or OEM Porsche
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 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 wholeheartedly endorse yokohamas. OEMish weight, excellent in nasty weather and no excessive noise driving
Nothing but good luck so far.
Yokohama geolander g015, performed amazing in slush and heavy snow and yes they have the 3PMS rating
I had 3 sets of Yoks in the past. I get about 160 runs out of them. Courses are 30-40 seconds, usually asphalt. They were at the wear bars in one season (the 160 runs) and actually corded on the insides first from the camber I run. One of the sets in my garage is completely slick with almost no visible tread left. I prefer tires that wear so you feel like you're using the entire tire. I want them to look like yours in 160 runs or about 25 events so I can get fresh ones in the spring and not have to store them.
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.
Had an alignment done at a Porsche dealer here in TX, gave them a printout of the specs a shop in CA had aligned it to. Come to find out they were way off and I ended up destroying the inside edge of my front track tires.
I my area I could’ve almost gotten four Yokohamas for that price, including mound and balance. So yeah, I think he shafted you.
