I believe these are on my s7 and are being used as summer tires. They're good quiet, relatively smooth riding tires. Performance wise they handle great and have a nice bite to them, also never loose traction when using launch control. In the rain they're about the same as any other tires.

I'm looking for a quiet and responsive tire. The only thing negative that I've found written has been that the tire may not be great in snow. Even though I live in NE ohio and get a lot of snow The Quattro system will more than make up for underperforming tires. Roads are so salted anymore that snow is not what we drive through it's slush from the salt.

The argument for winter tires is that they will stop you faster than all seasons. All cars become four wheel drive when you step on the brakes! There are recent auto mag and Consumer reports articles on these points.

I have snow tires on my car, but I did have the summer tires on once when it was icy and it did slide around bit. So I'd be careful if you're going to use the Yokohamas in icy/snowy conditions.

Just had the Yokohama advan sport a/s put on yesterday 255/35/20. I replaced the pilot sport AS-3's that wore out in 15,000 miles. Seem quiet and tight in turns. Will need more miles on them and a track day to make my final opinion.

So I now have over a thousand miles on the Yok's. I have been extremely pleased with every aspect of these tires. They go through wet snow great, are very quiet, and handle fantastic. I would get these over any other tire I have ever owned including Continental, Hankook and Michelin
