Bridgestone G-II
Dry: 6/10
Wet: 3/10
Value: ---
Came with my car when I got it. Grip in the dry actually wasn't too bad, but never had much confidence with these in the wet - grip would just be non-existent at times.
Yokohama Advan Sport (V103)
Dry: 9/10
Wet: 9/10
Value: 8/10
Actually picked these up for the same price as a set of Yoko ES100s after the Yoko factory made a mistake in my favour - so maybe I should be rating the value as 10/10 lol...
As a road tyre these are fantastic - magic in both wet and dry conditions so far. On the day I got them, the weather was miserable and I was surprised how much grip was available from the word go - and it's been improving still as it's been worn in.
A bit of road noise (but meh, you get that - equivalent to the G-IIs anyways) up to about 120kmh, then gradually rising to a bit of a howl at speeds above 140kmh
After about 1200kms use I took them up to Winton to see if I could find some limits of the tyres. They went really well - very predictable and really inspired confidence with each corner I took which was encouraging for someone like me with limited track experience. After about 4-5 hard laps, they began to to slide around a bit, but again progressive and predictable. I'm wondering if the fact that the tyres are still so new had something to do with it, cos there is still stacks of tread there (possibly moving around on the tread blocks). I'd like to go back in a few thousand kms time and see how I go then as well.
Two thumbs up from me so far
