A quick note on tires. Not all performance tires will perform well on a 205/55 R16 size. The specific size is VERY demanding on the tire. Check here how much deformation has the Pilot Sport 4, which in other dimensions is considered a very good tire. This one has a 94Y XL specification and again the deformation is terrible:




Check now the Advan A052 tire in same size. It is very similar with the A08b that was used in the first post video and has no deformation at all:



Even if both tires had same rubber, the second one would outperform the first every single day.
