Things have certainly changed, it sounds like that Yokohama product is a great choice now. I was surprised the Michelin pilots didn't score better in the comparison. My '98 has the optional 17' wheels, it's a non S 2.5L.
Remember, C&D rated the tires in the wet and dry and then took cost into consideration. The Goodyear is not the best "dry" performance tire in that group. It just gave consistent performance in the wet and the dry at a resonable cost. The best dry tire appears to be the Yoko's.

Rail, what PSI are you running in the tires? I'm running 33 up front and 36 on the back and have been very happy with that setup for street use.
