I'm running Yokohama Avid Ascend's. They were put on the car new by the place that found my car for me.

They aren't the best wet weather tire but they have a big area for error when pushing it on the dry. They grip fairly well and last way longer then I would've thought (Have about 80,000km on them and still will get another 40k km)

I'm usually fairly cautious on the wet roads as they can be unpredictable and let go sometimes as I found out the hard way last month.

I've also just swapped the Yokohama Icegurad Ig20 winter tires from my Echo (no longer have it) to my winter alloys for my Vios. They are by far the best winter tire I have used. I'd probably stick with Yokohama in the future based on my experience, that said I haven't used any real high performance tires before.

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3.

Super quiet. Love them.

Yokohama S.Drives (summer)
Hankook Winter iPike (winter)

Saulin Atrezzo zsr+

It's a very cheap tyre where I am that has grip compared to big brands in both the dry and wet. The front pair usually last me a year which includes daily driving and some autocross events.

Continental ContiPremiumContact 2 205/55 R16
Supplied with the car 2016 (europe)
Only 900Klm so far so can't say much about them.
The car runs *flat* and great (curves are tight)
Looking to put winter tires on, Goodyear ULTRAGRIP 9 or Michellin ALPIN A4

Bluevitz-rs · 10-21-2016, 02:19 PM

Bridgestone RE-11a 195/50-15

Insane amount of wet weather grip and even more insane in the dry. I have roughly 25000km on them (over 3 years) and they still surprise me on how sticky they are.

When it is above 10°C: Nitto NT01 205/50r15 Best raw grip of any DOT tire I have driven.
When below: Kumho Ecsta 4X II. These are a good wet weather tire, and very responsive. I run these as my winter tires and do a winter autoX series on them.

NYC-SE · 10-22-2016, 02:17 AM

Bridgestone Turanza EL400-02 195/50r16. They're OEM on the SE Yaris. No complaints.

And shouldn't this thread be in the tire section?

Michelin Pilot Sport 3 185/55/15 excellent grip in wet & dry!
Have driven them close to 42k km and threads are close to the markers so they are less grippy during wet conditions now. Would probably swap a new set at 45k and might try out Yokohamas instead.

KenTK808 · 10-22-2016, 06:12 PM

Kuhmo Ecsta directional rubbish tires I got with the rims I bought. marketed as an all season but complete rubbish in the wet. Decent in the dry though. Will buy a set of Yokohama S.drives later down the line.
