I have the Yoko AVID H4s in 195/65-14 on my red berlina and they have been
outstanding, particularly in the rain.   They do not squeal in the dry and
provide an excellent smooth ride.  I used to run Dunlop D60 M2 tires in the
same size on this car and the Yokos are definitely superior in all
respects.   They cost $ 51 from the Tire Rack...I'll be putting them on my
spider next year.
