What I do know, when I have a roundabout which I take at 50-55 with the Michelins, I take that same roundabout at 70 with the Goodyears. Personal taste wise, the 225/35's have reinforced sides, so those tyres are really very ridgid in turns, disadvantage ... don't expect comfort. But they're absolutely not loud.

Have a Celica as well where I had those cheaper tyres on (think they were Hankook), I didn't like them at all wet grip was crap those days (we're talking something like 4-5 y ago). I guess that meanwhile really 'bad' tyres you will not find anymore, except perhaps for the really cheap Chinese stuff (style Nankang and such).

Grtz
Thanks for comong back to me
Are you still able to break the grip when you want to taking a roundabout or sharp turn?
