you've tickled my interest on the squealing. I must investigate!
I really think that most poor reviews could be attributed to the tall tread (depth) of the new tire. I thought they were a little soft at first (but still great in the rain) but got progressively better. I've actually locked my seatbelt on a downhill corner in the driving rain without putting the brakes on. That's not bad traction IMHO. But greasy roads are greasy roads when it just rains a little;-)
In all honesty, one of the primary reasons I would get them again is price. We get the shaft locally,,,, translating a good price in CAD from the tirerack.com doesn't work at all. For example, I was hoping to get yoko Peradas for 120$ (or so),,,well even x1.5 into CAD doesn't justify the local sticker price of $240! I got the Avons balanced and installed including 14% tax (another couple % for BC enviro fee) for $900. Not bad considering the oddball 215/40R17 size. 205/45s are cheaper still.
