I am open to suggestions. I had the S4s on my '90 Coupe (standard 205/60-15 size) for 8,000 miles. I
could not stand them. They were a very loud tire and I saw no appreciable wet
grip advantage over my 16" SP8000s. I talked to Yoko, they took the tires
back and I purchased a set of Pirelli P6000 Sport Veloce, in the same size.
A dramatic difference. The Sport Veloce handles better than the S4, is MUCH
quieter and goes in the snow with just a hint sharper breakaway... however,
there is a trace of (formerly?) typical flat spotting after time w/o moving, but
this goes away in less than 5 miles.
