Dunlop SP Sport 9000 215-35-16-V Nissan GTiR January 13, 2015
I don't know what's wrong with the people who slate these tires unless they've bought Chinese fakes. These tires have been awesome in the dry and wet on my little 4x4 but they are crap in the snow. Drag racing on an airfield at over 100mph though a standing car sized puddle and not even the slightest hint of aquaplaning. Tires were a lot newer then though. It's just a shame they've stopped making them in my size.
I've never reached the limit of these tires as the speed required would probably have killed me if it went wrong.

Yokohama S306 200-45-16- Nissan GTiR 50 miles January 8, 2014
I've used these tires on my car for the last 6 years, mainly due to their cost and longevity. On track they are somewhat surprisingly good…in the dry!
They take about 3 laps to get to full potential and after about 10 laps they start to give up. Traction is good and they offer good feedback of how far you can push them without ending up having a crash. Sidewall is nice and stiff to aid cornering and they are quiet. However, in the wet, they are atrocious! Poor wet grip, locking up is very easy and it's almost like tip-toeing on ice in certain circumstances.
On the road, the wet grip is brown trousering if polite, roundabout are interesting and even exiting them can be somewhat sideways!
Dry grip on the road is fine; however I would try and get some heat into them 1st before you attempt any “spirited” driving.
Somehow I feel Yokahama spend their R&D money more on dry performance and much less on wet weather performance.
Off to try some decent Bridgestone's now!
