Default Replaced tires from Goodyear Eagle LS-2 to Yokohama YK580

Anyone here ever replaced their tires with different brand?

My tire blew up 2 weeks ago and both dealership and America's Tire Co. said that I have to replace all 4 tires (sucks, cause it's expensive), due to all wheel drive.
I only have 28k miles on it.

When I replaced mine with the Yokohama, the ride was a bit firm, I guess having tires with 60k miles warranty does makes a difference.
America's Tire said that the tires I choose was harder that average but better in handling

Yes it is, I can feel every single bump I run into.. but then again, I sacrifice the ride comfort to have a better handling, which I have to complains about
