Tires YOKOHAMA or OEM Porsche
I’ve been running yokohama advan flevas. Great all around performance, especially in the wet. They are quite sticky
Yokohama tires. I love yokos. They have a great balance between cost, wear, and feel. We usually get a 3PMS variant of some sort. Currently CV4S models on the 19 XC90.
I go through 2-3 sets a season on my C5 z06. I consider it the price to be competitive in CAM.
I've heard they don't last long but they are doing great on my Lotus Elise.
I'm on my 3rd season on mine with about 60 runs and the same 60 second course a season and I just put in my best performance last month.
Yoks are fast asf. Between the yoks and my new years resolution of "don't be a bitch" I picked up something like 2 seconds over last year.
Here's how my tires look after this season. This is \~75-80 runs total on a 60s course on concrete. There's still meat on the bone, but I don't think there's another 80 left. I'll be buying more tires by the middle of next season at the latest.
I just purchased new Yokohama @ $230 each. I didn't notice a difference in sound and still getting the same 3.2 kwh as OEM Dunlops. With 11/32 depth, my Ariya handles better with the Yokohamas.
I still love the R1Rs, but they are not good in the wet, IMO. I'll throw in a +1 for the Yoko AD09s.... they grip somewhat better than the R1R and are way, way better in the rain.
I felt that the tires were too hard and were easy to make noise with and kind of slide. I got tired of it and put on some temp tires until the tread wore out.
I waffled between the Yokohama Geolander GO15's and the MS2s. Started with the Yokos and my mileage dropped, was stiffer over bumps, but was a tank in the messy snow we got before Xmas. Swapped them out for the MS2 under the 30 day satisfaction warranty, and I wish I hadn't.
