Bridgestone G 019 Grid vs Yoko AVID ENVigor
Okay, finally whittled my tire decision down to the Bridgestone G 019 Grid and the Yokohama AVID ENVigor H&V after extensive reading on Tire Rack. So everybody out there in NAM land, what's your opinion on either tire and is one better than the other? Any comments/opinions is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

The Grid 019 was on my short list, along with the Envigor, and the DWS Conti.
I eliminated the Conti because of the soft sidewalls. I eliminated the 019s because too many people I talked with told me they were noisy (but great) and I wanted quiet.
I picked the Envigor. I've got about 2K miles on them so far and I'm well pleased.

Envigor's
I agree w/ Herleman. I also had the Grid 019 was on my short list, along with the Envigor, and the DWS Conti. I read the Conti's have soft sidewalls and the Grid 019 were noisy , so I opted for the Envigor's. I bought them in 215/45/17's instead of 205/45/17's so I would get the W series tire, higher speed rating (no rubbing issues with stock suspension). I have had them for 3 months and ~ 3000 miles and love them. Got to be the quietest tire I have ever owned. Love them , Quiet, Great ride, High wear rating (560) and very good handling. What more can you ask for?

To follow up.
Just to let everyone know I got the AVID ENvigors and I've found the perfect tire for me and my MINI. They seem to be quiet, grippy and excellent in the rain. I would highly reccommend to anybody. I bought 195/55-16s for my X-Lites (V-Spokes) and I'm also so glad I'm finally running on non-run flat tires. They have transformed my MINI and I'll NEVER go back to a run flat tire again.

I got the Yoko ENvigors too in 215/45/17. They run very smooth, can't believe the difference from RFT, its like a new car - runs smooth, as for cornering no noticeable difference. One issue though - when I go over a dip in the road, at speed, I can hear the left rear tire rub a little bit in the edge..I guess I need to be careful near large dips in the road! Tires performed very well in rain and have seen no "hunting" issues on grooved roads.

That's what I hate about tire shopping. Every opinion on every tire is so subjective. I do not have an issue with tire noise on Bridgestones either. From driving cars of friends who have Bridgestones, I am of the opinion that once warmed up, Bridgestones have more grip than the Yoko Envigors. The Envigors, in my opinion, seem to have a better balance of compromises for all driving conditions.
