Experience: Yokohama AVS db Decibel Tires

Hi,
Just got my 205/60 VR15 Yokohama AVS db Decibel tires mounted on my 1991 Turbo Convertible - WOW! Going from a mixmatched set of Firestone SH30's in front and Michelin MXV4's in the rear, th difference is amazing.
The big seller for me, besides the "Ultra High Performance All Season" rating, was the claimed ultra-low noise generated by these tires. I can attest to the low noise - I just took the car on Lake Shore Drive and it's uncanny how much quieter the car is.
I don't know how these tires rack up against other performance tires (i.e., I put the Dunlop Sport 5000's on my 2000 Passat), and I don't expect that my Automatic Turbo Convertible will ever be driven in anger, but if you're looking for a quiet, higher performance tire (convertible owners take special note of the quietness), these Yoko's are great!
BTW, they are not available in our stock size 195/60 size, so I had to use 205/60. They are a little "plump", but look good - the tread pattern is cool and the sidewalls stylish.
My $.02 worth.
Gavin
