Is the Yokohama Avid Envigor (H&V) a good time for the Cincinnati area?

I have done a lot of research using NAM for my next tire selection. Our 09 mini s is due for it's next set of tires. It's my wifes daily driver, but I barrow it whenever I can. We don't want to run separate wheels/tires for winter and summer but would love to get rid of the runflats. We love spirited driving on the local country roads but it's mainly a daily driver. Does anyone have any experience in our area running these tires?

Thank you,
Cannon

On edit I noticed that time = tire in the title.

I will be buying this week and am starting to debate these tires against the Potenza G 019 Grid. Any suggestions?

I bought the Continental DWS and am very happy with them. They are rated as the # 1 Ultra High Performance all season radial according to tirerack.com. Tirerack has all kinds of comparisons and studies for you to read and compare.

They offer these sizes... Any suggestions on possible fitment.

205/45ZR16 83W $102.00 (ea.)
205/50ZR16 87W $103.00 (ea.)
