265/35 20 Tire Review Highlights

Yokohama Advan Sport V107 rated 64% while driving a SEAT Cupra Born
Driving on mostly country roads for 800 average miles
Although it has really good grip, it takes a lot of temperature to get that grip on dry roads.
On the other hand the wet grip is grate even when cold.
In both conditions it is very predictable when up to temperature witch gives a lot of confidence when pushing it on fun back roads.

Unfortunately they degrade very fast, thus far I have been driving them for about 800km and there is only about 3mm of tread depth left from the 7.5mm when new.

Overall it's a fun tire with alot of feedback, but I would not recommend it unless you want to buy new ones every summer.

Nankang AS2 rated 96% while driving a BMW 320d XDrive saloon
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
My first experience of Nankang tires and I have to say I am really pleased. Would normally buy a premium brand but these came on the car and have pleasantly surprised me. If anything the car is “over” tired as not standard rims but wet or dry it is predictable and sure footed even spirited driving through local lanes which I do regularly as well as many motorway miles. I’m replacing like for Like as the price is incredibly good and I need nothing else from my tires.

Pirelli P Zero rated 39% while driving a Porsche 718 GTS
Driving on mostly country roads for 2000 spirited miles
These are the worst "performance tires" I've ever had the misfortune of using. Poor grip in the wet. Enough grip in the dry. Poor feedback and not progressive at the limit.

Nankang Sportnex AS2 Plus rated 43% while driving a Audi A7 3.0TDi Auto
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 average miles
I bought the car with these tires already on it (although have driven the same model with a different brand tire). Due to these being on the car when I purchased it, I cannot say what milage is on them. These have good grip in the dry but aren't good in the went, and despite the 4 wheel drive they like to skid a bit without trying! Road noise is also very noticeable. Won't be buying these!

Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D rated NAN% while driving a Audi RS6 Avant V10
Driving on mostly motorways for 10000 spirited miles
Installed these tires on my Audi RS6 V10 for winter in Germany.
Traction is ok, but the car feels less precise than with my Pirelli summer tires.
A bit noisy.
Main drawback: cornering on the wet. Loosing grip too often for my taste, especially on roundabouts. Will not buy these again.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 rated 64% while driving a Porsche 986 Boxster S
Driving on mostly motorways for 2000 spirited miles
I need a high performance tire that will give more miles.

Yokohama ADVAN Sport rated 24% while driving a Audi A7 S Line 245ps
Driving on mostly motorways for 2000 average miles
Shockingly poor OEM tire choice from Audi.

As another review here states, I thought I had a wheel bearing on the way out on a brand new car. In fact I was convinced of it as I couldn't believe a manufacturer would allow such a poor choice of tire for a luxury car like the Audi A7.

Audi have agreed to change these to Michelin Pilot Sports which having driven another A7 with these on will make it a whole new car.

Amazingly despite these tires being replaced after just 2000 miles I can see signs of wear already all around the outer edges so I doubt they would have made 10,000 miles had my ears and patience lasted that long.

Last word on progressiveness. Progressive is what the Goodyear Eagle F1 tires offer, a gradual and predictable level of grip that would change slowly but surely as tire wear grew on. These Yokos are progressive like a set of worn 20,000 mile Eagle F1s. They must suit a style of driving somewhere, perhaps Mazda RX8 for drifting but again, not for a Quattro car that is about grip and assertive handling in all weather.
