I had Yokohama C-Drives fitted recently when I upgraded to 17 inch rims, and I'm very happy with them. Great grip (over the stock Dunlop 16s), and on a par for noise. They're reasonable over rough roads, but you will feel the shift to the lower profile over pothole-style corrugations.
My car is doing a lot of pitching and darting under braking and heavy acceleration right now, but I'm fairly sure that's down to the wheel alignment rather than the tyres.

Probably your springs are worn in and more pliable
The cost of a set of 4 C-drives were $1100 including installation was the quote.
Factory REO40's will only last me around 30k which I found disappointing!
BobJane is selling the Yokohama A.Drive R1 in 235/45 R17 for $229. Give them a call to check on the price of the 225. Remember to state the "R1". There is another A.Drive without the R1, which is an economy sports tyre.
forgot to update, got quote sport max 850 16" alignment included or 786 adrenalin no alignment included.
haven't change them, still have the old tyres. then i come to think why not i just buy some 17"s that come with rubber, a not so good quality but reasonable looking cost maybe something like 1500?
not sure what to do with the car now might leave it until the tyres worn out and came off itself on freeway.....
can't remember if this has been suggested, but I think pirelli dragon is a good balance between performance and wear rate. Nick would vouch for this tyre, won't you Nick?
