At Blyton Park, three different types of tires were tested, all size 235/40 R18: Yokohama Advan A052, which is the moral winner with immediate grip, low wear, and great confidence. Vitour Tempesta was surprising on the stopwatch but difficult to drive; it has a lot of understeer and extremely high wear; Nankang CRS is extremely consistent: it needs a lap to warm up, but once at temperature, it is as pleasant and precise as the Yokohama.

In summary, the Yokohama tires are the best and most complete: fast right away, excellent in the wet, and durable despite the stress of the track. The Nankang are almost at the same level in terms of performance and durability, while the Vitour Tempesta were somewhat disappointing; they squeal a lot, slide, and wear out too quickly.
