Yokohama S-Drive are silent, grippy and high quality but they wear fast and cost a lot...
But there is NO michelins I would put on any of my cars...
sorry for the out of topic but OEM tires are made to be burned at the back on track days... on most cars

He was referring to the Conti DWS, which is an all-season, just for clarification.
Michelins are expensive because they are the highest quality tires. Sounds like you've had a bad experience before, but I have worked with tires from an OEM vehicle manufacturer perspective and can tell you that Michelin provides the best quality tires, hands down. That said, have you had any experience with the Pilot Sport PS2 or it's replacement, the Pilot Super Sports? The PSS is truely an amazing performance package. It manages better dry and wet performance than the PS2, while increasing tire life by 30%. And the tire life on PS2's was already very good!
See
www.DTROneLap.com for more details on my experience with PS2's. Disclaimer: I was sponsored by Michelin. However, that doesn't skew my perceptions of the tire.
