In this video, I'll be sharing my thoughts on my experience with these advan tires. Overall a solid all around tire that's a good direct competitor to the PS4S's.
Nothing beats PS4 however, when it came to corning these tires feel like they are on a rail. My steering wheel felt a bit lighter than the PS4 and the PS4 are super light.
Are you on stock suspension? Also, have you used these through the winter, i'm in south texas so probably not an issue since we only have 3 days of winter but still curious. thanks!
I'm on fortune auto 500 coilovers. And yes I have driven through winter, but I in the same boat as you living in the south. Never had an issue in colder temps, but also never had to drive through snow.
Just realized the autocross clip is at Delta SCCA in NOLA. I've only done two Autocross events and both have been there! Small world lol. How do you like the V601s for dual duty autocross/street use compared to the stock primacies? Obviously they're suboptimal relative to a dedicated 200tw autocross tire, but is there a noticeable improvement around the cones vs the primacies? Thanks.
There is for sure a grip difference compared to the stocks. They have a pretty good grip threshold, but you need to get them warmed up properly. In an autocross environment, I find it taking a while for them to get up to temp. Overall solid dual duty tire if you're willing to put up with the road noise.
The advan tire will be a bit cheaper and has better tread wear according to TireRack. I don't have any personal experience with the Kumho tire, but given the stats, either should give you a similar experience.
Cool @@Lucas86. - Thanks for the feedback. Are there particular pressures that you find to be the best for this tire; that provides the best grip w/o overheating too badly?
yeah for sure @@Lucas86. - I just don't want to spend my limited time chasing pressures. Mid 30s seem to be popular for my platform and proposed suspension setup.

@@Lucas86.Gotcha. Is the road noise much worse than stocks?
@jackwicker. It's not unbearable, but its noticeably louder. I'm on my second set daily driving them, and I can put up with it.
@@Lucas86. Gotcha. Good to know in any case.
How many miles did you get out of them? I just ordered some for my civic 👌🏼
Hard to say an exact number, but you should be able to get 20,000+ miles if you're aren't tracking them all the time.
Trying to decide between these and kumbo ps91s... thoughts?

I'm planning on getting these for my mildly modded G35 coupe for track days and general use. Are they super sensitive to pressure changes?
Not really. I've auto crossed these for a while and they do take some time to heat up, but overall the pressures stay consistent.

@@synaptik111 that would depend on your car. I keep mine around 32psi all around
