Default Tire rack is exchanging my Yokohama Avid H4s. Need advice...

My Tire Rack rep has been very helpful; they are splitting the shipping costs for shipping the old ones back and the new ones to me.

He recommended that this time I go with the Avon Tech M550 A/S tires, but I wanted to get your opinions first. Has anyone had any experience with those? It's at the top of the Ultra High Performance All Season survey list at Tire Rack's website.

That...or go back to the original P-Zero Nero M/S tires.

Default I only got 15k or so miles out of them, but that's probably related to the misalignment.

I heard they weren't great in the snow, though.

Default The rear of the car bucks during quick lane changes or swerving.

It sets off ESP because the car thinks (and rightfully so) that it's fishtailing. It feels like the back end wags.
