I just changed from Yoko A520 205/45/16 to Kumho 712 205/50/16. Huge difference. The Yokos are the loudest tire I have ever heard, they were spent after about 18k miles, they made my car so stiff that all inerior parts of my car are now loose. But I had no fear of performance; taking turns at 90mph, never a sqeal, 110mph in the rain, what an amazing tire.
Then I got the Kumhos b/c I wanted to settle down for a bit. Let me tell you that my car rides like a Caddy now (even with Konis), these things are quieter than the Michelin MXV4 on my Legend, but of course some performance has gone out the window. But definitely worth the $78 a piece I spent for them.
