981 Cayman. Crazy grip, better breakaway than RE-71Rs, probably more grip as well. Haven't got to a track day yet, but has very good street manners. Hard to push to the grip limit on the street while being reasonable. Straight line breaking is nuts and the few times I've stuck the tail out it's been a very gradual loss of traction, easy to control. My new go-to autocross/daily driver tire - yet to see how it deals with track day heat cycling, but I'm confident it will be on-par with the competition.

New motorsport-inspired rubber compound for high grip
Sports car enthusiasts settle for nothing but performance. With their incredible traction, grip, and handling, UHP tires are the best companions for these drivers, whether on the road or track. Hailing from the Advan family, the Yokohama Advan A052 is a fantastic UHP tire that features a motorsport-inspired construction and rubber compound for maximum grip, traction, and control when driving at high speed. While the rounded rib profile minimizes heat build-up for enhanced fuel efficiency, the notched micro-grooves of the Advan A052 boost heat dissipation to maintain consistent tire temperature across its section width. Additionally, the large contact patch of the Advan A052 puts more rubber on the ground for increased stability, handling, and grip in dry and wet conditions.
