Anyone have the Yoko AVS dB tires?

How do you like them? Pros, cons? Any good at all in the snow? Tirerack says they are OK in the snow, but not good.

Well, they are better than summer tires, but that's about it.

In other words, they suck in the snow. Pretty good at everything else tho.

So you have the AVSdBs?

They work OK in the snow? How about handling and ride on non-snow roads? Are they really as quiet as they claim to be?

Well, I had them last winter, put 25k on them. Now have BFG kdws and

have put about 15k on them. Only one snowfall this year, but the kdws are 100% better in the snow than the db's were. IMO

Note to self: When thinking of removing snow tires, wait until no more snow.
