Yokohama Advan V105

Just grabbed a set of these in a 225, they are not in the stock size. Coming off stock size Super Sports. These tires shift the balance more to the rear, getting rid of some of the BRZ understeer. Just what was needed. I remember Tire Rack saying they felt more "lively" and "danced thru the corners, whereas the SuperSports felt more locked down. They are also more linear as you dial in lock for corners. Highly recommend these, and only 111 bucks a pop.

Interesting observations. The tread pattern reminds me of my Toyo T1 Sports.
