$600 Walmart Tires vs $1600 Racing Tires

We're testing out a set of $1600 Yokohama vs $600 Zestinos tires to see if more expensive = more better grip.

Donut = We like cars, and we like making videos about cars. Hopefully our videos make you like cars too.

That cornering test while james did the ad is one of the most creative ad reads ive ever seen on Youtube.

[ON-EightySix]

Still very impressed with Nolans driving ability's dudes a sleeper...

[JamieTenikoff]

Dude... The cinematography throughout these episodes - this one in particular - has been absolutely incredible. The sunset shots, the drone transitions and overheads, and of course the most creative sponsor segment of all time. Love it.

Jeremiah speaking in metric for the tire tread experiment really got my engine going! So refreshing to see the donut crew trying to entertain AND educate us all!

I kinda miss Nolan and James sitting down at the end of the episode and doing a breakdown on what they'd rather buy otherwise this season is Hi-Low is great.

[slumbynature]

Pretty funny that Hi Car is the one that gets all the expensive stuff but has to be repaired the most.

Throughout all the driving videos Nolan is a really good driver for not being a pro. He consistently turns the fastest times other than the pro driver and he usually isn’t too far off. Props to you Nolan.

Literally every owner 9 months into their first project car: “Maybe we’re just not good mechanics”

[aaronbrown]

Jeremiah's explanation of tire width and it's relation to grip and wear was awesome!

[gregorymarkert]

Loving the new batch of hi vs. low, but feel like there’s room for more buyer advice, akin to money pit. Before and during the tests you could discuss things like “why we chose these two tires”, “this is what to look for in a track tire”, “here’s what you might sacrifice in a cheaper option, or gain in a more expensive option.” Great to see fun tests between two cars, but I also love watching Donut for genuine advice.

This show is so well put together. I love the educational segments.

[horrido]

donut is seriously perfecting this series format. this is excellent content with entertaining guys

[ethanhogaboom]

I really like how they’ve integrated Jerry into Hi-Low now. It breaks it up a bit and keeps the video more interesting for a longer duration imo. And I think the stuff he talks about is super interesting

[ashveersalikram]

Nolans driving has gotten so much better over the last few years its incredible

[larrycolen]

Yup, in a race, the extra thousand dollars for a second per lap is worth it. However, for the cost of the Yokos and one track weekend, you could buy a set of pizzas and get two or three track weekends. Until your lap times vary by less than 0.1 second per lap, save some money on tires and invest in the spacer that fits between the seat and the steering wheel.

[TheMarioOne]

Always loved the HiLow videos but I have to say, the quality has been improving so much throughout the series

[Otoskire]

That was genuinely the best sponsor segment I have ever seen ever. I watched the whole thing, and it didn’t feel like an interruption. Sometimes YouTubers try to make a whole story with mediocre jokes that takes you out of the video to sell you something but this was just funny, fit right in, and felt honest. Good stuff

For someone that just run track days, I think the $600 tire is a perfectly viable option. Obviously though if you're actually looking for a competitive edge in a time attack series, you're going to want to pay the extra.

[dennett]

I think a discussion should've been had at the end to weigh everything up vs the cost of the tires. At almost 3 times the price, did the more expensive tyres offer almost 3 times the performance of the cheaper set? Not so sure about that. I know everything is diminishing returns at some point, but still. Two sets of the cheaper tyres for less than the cost of one expensive set is something to consider too.

I absolutely love Zestino's Gredge series tyres, never had any problems and they easily outperform to Bridgestone potenza's, switched over 3 years ago and used nothing else since - fantastic tyres, especially for the money
