I ordered a set of Ascend GT's this morning.  TireRack quoted delivery tomorrow.  Gotta love their service!

In my opinion, very good.  Probably an 8 out of 10, given the size and my car setup.  Obviously I would use something better for track or auto crossing, but for everyday use and sometimes aggressive corning, I think they're great.  I went on a ~100 mile drive yesterday with the Z club in the foothills, highway 49 (which sometimes makes Car & Drivers favorite road list), and my favorite, 193 coming down into Placerville.  Pleased with their performance when we had no traffic in front of us.

Ken,

I got the Ascend GT's mounted up last week.  Yesterday I got a chance to drive up through the Kettle Moraine Valley, which has a lot of nice twisty roads.  I would have to agree with your 8 out 10 rating on performance.  They stuck really well in the corners and the ride was a huge improvement.  Of course, I would not use these on a track, but they are a good choice for spirited street driving. 

Thanks for the recommendation.

Whew! Good to hear! I was worried someone would buy them and say “Man, these things suck!” L O L

Ha, ha, ha... not at all.  I have had several sets of Yokos and have liked them all.  As an added bonus, they were way cheaper than the other tires I was looking at. Gotta love that these days.
