I actully live in the New England area and I was using a set of Yokohama Iceguards and they performed fantastic, lasted 3 whole winters. Great tires.
Pros: fantastic performance, lasted 3 winters

I still have my summer wheels and tires left from when I traded my B5 A4 in on my GTI. I bought these wheels new from a dealership a couple of years back, and they have two summers on them, as do the tires. The wheels are in perfect shape, with no curbage, scratches, or defects of any kind at all.
Pros: wheels in perfect shape
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Yes Street - 245/40/17 Yoko S-Drive (`3mm clearance on inside to clips on suspension, no rubbing at all) Track - 235/40/17 Toyo RA1 (best size I could get RA1s a the time)
Pros: no rubbing at all
Cons: 3mm clearance on inside
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I put some Yokohama A008's and new shocks on it and I was off. Like the 914 it had nearly 50-50 weight distribution, and relatively stable RWD handling.
Pros: stable RWD handling
Vehicle:
Porsche
Some big diameter Yokohama tires are unbalanceable. My 3 times rebalanced Geolanders G-52 vibrate depending on road curvature, wind direction, ambient temperature etc. Simply crazy.
Pros: good wear, thread-looking-good
Cons: vibrate depending on conditions
There's a really interesting all-season Yokohama tire available (called the Advan S4) in 235/50R17 that is "AA" rated for traction, has a 400 treadwear ratiing, and is one of the least expensive tires in its category and size at $186. Its also rated #1 in the ultra high performance all season category. I'd go with this in a second.
Pros: AA rated for traction
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Eos
I still doubt it's the tires, although they are All season's Yokohama Avid H4S
Pros: all season tires
Cons: doubt it's the tires
I would suggest staying away from the Yokohama Advan ST. I have the 285-14-19s on my egg and while a great handling and traction tire, after 7K miles they are cupping and I get a low speed noise and vibration to the point that at 8K I am replacing them
Pros: great handling, good traction
Cons: cupping, low speed noise
Mileage: 7000 km
our options in streetable tires that i know of are: 205 60 14 yokohama es 100
From what I can gather, the 195/65 14 I have on there now are fairly stiff. Not as stiff as I'd like though. I still get a little plowing fron the front end on some onramps, but maybe a couple more PSI will help that. Of course, what I have to compare it to are a set of Falken Azenis, so really, there is no comparison.
Pros: fairly stiff
Cons: little plowing
