I have Yokohama Avid Ascend GTs on my 15. I have 195/55R16s and I don't want to go any wider than that.
My experience with them has been very positive. They have more than enough lateral grip for autocross and tearing up back roads, but are still solid feeling in the frequent rainstorms of the east coast. And while we don't get that much snow where I am, it handles that well enough as well.
these tires well, may be worth the price. and after today, I've decided to keep them for the next round of tires. definitely not overkill. i would have been in a ditch today if i didn't have the traction i needed. i almost slid off the road 3 times, and that's a positive given the road conditions.
My avid ascends have been great for the last couple runs. I am at 225k miles almost. Had three pair. Only complaint is that I didn't get very near the advertised warranty mileage. More like 50k per set.
I have them on my 2016 forester 2.5. I live in the middle of Indiana so for half of the year it rains somewhat regularly. Personally, I think the tire is great. I have made turns too quickly while the roads were wet and didn't slide around at all. Accelerating and braking, i consider the traction to be very good in all conditions.
My mother drives her Hyundai i20 on Bridgestone Weather Control A005 and is happy with them.
I use Bridgestone Weatherpeaks on my 2018 Forester but I live in the east coast of Canada.
I bought the cheapest tires I could and drove like 1500 miles every 2 weeks... South Texas to New Mexico oilfield
Couldn't be more pleased though as a general rule sport "summer" tires generally don't do as well in the rain as all seasons so be warned... they were fine but not as good as the yokohama all seasons they replaced
Just got a new set of tires last week. Went with Yokohama Advance Sport A/S on my 2021 XSE. Very happy with the performance on dry and wet.
I ran R11s for a while before switching to slicks. They are about as close in profile as you can get when compared to slicks. My only gripe is that they overheated really quickly, to the point where regular slicks last 2-3x as long.
I was not a fan of these tires in the snow. Never seemed to have an issue getting the car going, but did have the car oversteer and slide in the snow a few times.
