Yoko AVS ES100 on MCS...

So I took delievery of my MCS in late June and after putting about 1500 miles on it decided to replace the 17 inch all season runflats with the Yokos. Now most people claim a better ride when replacing the runflats but I feel that the ride has gotten significantly worse. I also stuck with the factory 205/45/17 size. Can any other Yoko owners comment? Also has anyone used the factory 15 inch continentals on snow? I am thinking about picking up a takeoff set from the dealer now that I don't have the all seasons. Thanks

I have just put on ES100's and felt the steering response was slightly worse. However the grip is significantly better so the response could have something to do with having to turn the sticky wheels. I didn't notice any change in the ride ... but then I have SS+ with new sway bar so the ride is harsh anyway.

Yeap I noticed an automatic increase in grip. They grip way better than the Goodyears. Don't even come close actually. Also I thought all MCS came with SS+? I guess maybe not. Thanks for the response
