This gave them a mushier steering feel than the Bridgestones

I thought the test tire was BF Goodrich, not Bridgestone.

I've never been a huge fan of the Yoko tires... Putting these against the Michelin Premier would have been more of a challenge, I'd think.  I quite like them on the Rolla

I agree.  The Premier seem to have really good reviews and I've suggested them to a few people now.

I really like the Premier.....I find them to feel a little "squishy", almost like a winter tire, but they are not run-flats and my previous Continentals were.  So I think I am just not used to the regular tire anymore.
