I have the Yokohama Avid H4V4's in 235/45R17 and I have no complaints, I've had them for about 10K and they have been great. I don't have any experiences w/the other tires you listed. Hope this helps

I just put the Dunlop Sport A2's on the car last night.
I got them along with '01 16" SE wheels. The size is 215/55/16
I got them mounted & balanced & shipped to my door for $780 from a guy in CT
The wheels are brand new dealer take offs and look sweet.

If anyone is interested, let me know.........

P.S.
Ill let ya know how the tires are.....

I'm pretty sure you compared them side-by-side but if not, this should help.

The RE950's have the best numbers including the owners survey (click on the picture of each tire to see the survey and look at the would-buy-again rating) which to me justifies the higher price. I just paid $150.00 ea for my 950's in 235/45-17's and after driving in the rain for the last week I'm glad I did. If you really don't want to spend the extra money get the Dunlops, they are good tires, just not as good.

Good luck with whichever you decide on.
