Interesting V rated Tire test

Just after buying Yokohama Avid V4s tires, I received this interesting test from Tire Rack. I was looking for quiet, durable, stiff V-rated tires that perform well in the rain. According to this test, I lucked out on the rain performance but I drove them in heavy rain last night and they did ok. I had considered the runner up of this test, as suggested by Stephen Goldberger, but the many comments on Tire Rack about a decrease in gas mileage kept me away from the BF Goodrich Traction T/A. I think they are an excellent choice for someone looking for a real M&S performance tire. In Québec, we are better off using dedicated winter tires.
Also, I chose not to expand to 225/50/16 (which are 10$ cheaper at Tire Rack than the standard 215/55/16) because there are so many potholes on our roads, that I prefer keeping all the cushioning available to protect the mag wheels.
Hope this can help those going through what I just did. There are a lot of tires out there!
