Yokohama vs Goodyear?
Currently searching for tires for the upcoming winter. Live in indiana and don't want to purchase snow tires as we only have a month or two where we have decent amounts of snow. I have summer Michelin PSS on my summer set up and am looking to purchase the Yokohama Advan All-Season tires or the Goodyear Eagle All-Season tires. If anybody has any personal experience with either of these tires or know of any pros/cons of each please advise accordingly. Have searched all over the web for reviews of these Yokohama tires and there are basically none available.
Thanks in advance

Tire Rack?
Have you seen the reviews here? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSe...&filterType=oe I have the Yoko ENVigors that has 30% tread life left when I picked up my '06 IS350 a mont ago. But I can't wait to replace them because they are extremely loud. I'm guessing they may be less loud when new but not for long. I'm actually looking to get a set of Hankooks when I'm ready to replace them. If you haven't already, check Tire rack reviews. Many times they can be close to accurate..

I have the Yoko YK580 and love them. Very quite, good performance in the rain and dry. They say they are good in light snow but I haven't tested that yet. Not the cheapest tire but very good all around tire. Plus the site below has free shipping and no tax.

Per the email we have been chatting about so others can reference:
My thought is that both are pretty good tires in the wet, dry and performance handling. The Yokohama all-season tires generally have a history of not being great performers in the snow. It has not been out long enough to get any real solid feedback to see if they have curbed this with the current tire. If winter traction is at all a concern, I would go with the Goodyear.
For what it's worth, I would second the Continental Extreme Contact DWS. It will be a much better performer in snow than either of these tires.

DWS can take a beating. I have been running it on bad bad California roads and drive it hard on autocross. It is still solid as steel. The sidewall though is less stiff than summer tires so it doesn't handle as good as summer tires but it is very comfortable and quiet.
