I like Yokohama's approach: In regards to handling, the tires were not destined for track duty, so we experienced a level of performance that was slightly above the standard OE tire on most modern passenger vehicles. A few of us did the sentiment that the tire did improve its ability to stay planted after a few hot laps, which would give credence to Yokohama\u2019s claim that the special compound will change its handling characteristics for the better when driven aggressively.

Pros: improved ability to stay planted
Cons: not destined for track duty
Vehicle: MINI

YOKOHAMA Tires

I got em... I don't beat on them though. I don't have them stretched or anything, just OEM tire size 205/50 on my Speedlines. They look good. Water performance is scary if you do anything stupid, drive like a normal human being (your findings may vary...). Other then that, they are a really great tire for daily driver use. I've had mine on... I want to say 15k miles. I need to rotate them though.

Pros: great tire for daily driver
Cons: scary water performance
Mileage: 24140 km

I ran s.drives on my mk5 for a little while (ended up getting rid of them because some jackass at the tire place used the wrong wheels weights and the tires cupped badly) I was pretty happy with them, stuck well, not too loud (but had some noise for sure), and decently priced.

Pros: stuck well, decently priced
Cons: some noise

For winter I'm running Conti DWS on 17's and they've performed well. In snow my only limitation has been ground clearance.

Pros: performed well in snow
Cons: ground clearance limitation

I went with the Continental ExtremeContact DWS for my 2008 EOS LUX, replacing the OEM Goodyear Eagles. While no snow (yet), I'm very happy with them. The car handling is significantly better and, very importantly, the squeal when accelerating is gone.

Pros: better car handling
Cons: squeal when accelerating
