Default Feedback on Yokohama Advan S.4 - 2007 Outback

Just joined the Forum and did a quick search on Threads for Yokohama but didn't see any specific feedback on the Yokohama Advan S.4. It could be a newer model, but is highly rated on tirerack.com. We have 50K miles on the original Bridgestone tires. We do not have a set of snow tires since we aren't in deep snow all that often, so we intend to use these tires in all 4 seasons. The OEM tires were very good overall in rain, snow and summer conditions but they are quite pricey compared to a higher "rated" tires.

Any thoughts? Feedback? Personal experience? I just blew one of the OEM Bridgestone tires yesterday on a piece of road debris at 70mph. Currently driving on the donut and am looking to replace all 4 in the next day or so....

Thanks... And please let me know if I did alright on protocol for the forum (right place, right information, etc....)

i run these on my stock wheels on my evo and they're not my favorite tire. they're pretty horrible in the snow but dry and wet they are ok. i wouldn't consider these to be high performance tires. they can handle high speeds but they can't handle the abuse of say an autox event. i have one autox on them and it was more like a drift event for me. hope that helps.
