Hi Gary-Re: The standard Pilot Sport would be horrible in snow. Are you sure that is what you have?
Gary,
1)Is the Yokohama Advan S4 better in cold/snow? and
2)Is it quieter than Pilot sport A/S?
the surveys indicate it is quieter-But that is surveys. You probably have tire to tire comparison since you have driven them.
I have driven the michelins and the OEM Conti's on an A4.
Thanks.

Those two tires were tested head-to-head by TR staff...

Re: Those two tires were tested ---Not for snow.
-Not compared for snow cold performance (later snow test did not have S4's)
- No comparison to the OEM ConiProContacts
- No head to head with the newer Mich A/S plus- but that is minor since I don't think the Plus should be that different from original A/S (BTW I have experience with the Plus).

I ran the Yoko S.4. last winter & run the RE960 this winter...
I prefer the RE960 in snow. They are also quieter than the Advan. Dry & wet performance is great on either. Never tried the Michelin.
