Default Need to replace summer tires, any suggestions?

Was using ContiSport Contact 3's. Didn't seem to wear that well.

Default I just had Yokohama ADVAN S.4. installed on my summer wheels

<center><img src="http://www.tirerack.com/images/tires/yokohama/yo_advan_s4_ci2_l.jpg"></center><p>I figured I would sell the Conti3s that came with the car as they hardly have any wear on the car as I put snows on immediately as I got the car home.

I wanted a quiet and longer wearing tire than the Contis too.

If I had not gotten sick this week I would have taken the snows off and put the 5.4s on by now.

Default Yokohama ADVAN S.4. good tire for the money. I had about 12K on them when I traded in the bludemon

and they had plenty of life left in them. Probably a good 25K-30K tire for the RS4 depending on driving style. My miles were mostly highway.

If you saw my post about 5 months ago I was not impressed with them at 1st but after the newness wears off the tires really start to grip.

Once I burn through the Michelins that are on the new ride I will probably go back to the Yokohama.

Default I remember your posting - and was one of the reasons I went to them - thanks

I am taking a heat for putting them on but I don't drive at 80-100% of the cars capability most of the time.

Default I have Advan S.4s as well. I remember your post from last month.

Great tire thus far. I almost wish they had a 275/30 version, but it's sorta dumb to have a fat all-season tire....haha
