Weaponxr Donating Members 624 Member For: 14y 5m 23d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 08/03/12 04:23 AM Share Posted 08/03/12 04:23 AM I just had fitted some Yokohama Advan A13 tyres on my car and although I should have done this before fitting them I would like to know some opinions on this tyre. I have the standard wheels so 245/40/18's were fitted and so far they seem quieter than the last set of tyres. Anyone had any experience with them? feel free to let me know here.I will be at Calder Park on March 16th so see how I will do if it dosent get rained out.Thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79233-yokohama-advan-a13-tyres/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the cost is up there at $420 per tyre, the grip level in the wet and dry is awesome. Looking at the tread pattern of your tyres, I don't see too much of a difference between the two, however there could be some differences in compound.Not that I am a tyre expert, but my understanding is this:Soft compound tyre = high grip level, but less tyre life = higher costHarder compound tyre = less grip level, but longer tyre life = less costI only got 16,000 K out of my back tyres so went back to Bob Jane and whinged and they replaced them at 50% discoun so couldn't be happier. The front ones still have plenty of meat at 22,000 k (or there abouts) Obviously they won't wear evenly being a 'T'I guess it's up to the individual to find a happy medium and of course keeping price in mind. Having said that, to have a high grip tyre makes for more driving fun IMO and when you think about it, could almost be considered a mod'.I did a track day at Wakefield Park not long ago and these tyres performed incredibly well. They stick like stink on a monkey.How was your track day? any rain?

I think they work well on the Falcons since they are designed to be OEM equipment on Evo X, so alot of side load is taken into consideration. This works well on the heavy falcons.

Posted 01/04/12 04:19 AM Share Posted 01/04/12 04:19 AM Agreed 100% with Senna.....Ive now tried several different brands and types of tyres now and for price vs grip vs wear the Yokohama comes up as the best all round so far...
