Has anyone put Yokohamas on the Q5? I see Tire Rack has a set that supposedly fits. I've never been a fan of Continentals. Had a 2000 Passat that had a very loud/hard ride and when the Continentals wore out in 18,000 miles, I put Yokohamas on them and they lasted another 40,000 miles and were much quieter on the road. So I wanted to see if anyone has any experience with mixing it up on the Q5. I know Audi likes to put on whatever tires they have that week, my 13 Q5 19" wheels came with Continentals.

Can you tell me a bit more about the DWS's? You stated they are quiet (which is definitely what I want) but how do they handle and are they real stiff hitting bumps?
BTW - I have the Pro-Contacts on my A4 and like them - based on your thoughts I will probably go with the DWS for that car when needed...
Thanks

For my Q5 I stuck with the stock 18s due to Michigan's terrible roads. Not disappointed with the ride or handling, although they do look good rolling on bigger stock. Unfortunately, Conti does not make the DWS in 235/60-18, so when the time comes I'll have to go another route, otherwise I would not hesitate to buy a set again.
Also BTW, they are the best all-season tire I've ever experienced in snow. Not as good as real snow tires, but not a bad substitute.
