I don't have any complaints with the Yokos and I would buy them again if I had to. The ride seems softer than the Contis and they are very quiet at all speeds and on various road surfaces. Their low price compared to the other 20-inch tires made it an attractive choice.
I cannot yet comment on grip/traction as I am slowly building my confidence with these tires. I don't push them too hard through corners yet, not until I get a good feel for their grip. I expect them to be less grippy as they are all-season tires but I accepted that tradeoff since I wanted to be able to use them for the occasional trip through the Sierras during the Winter (light snow only, I wouldn't bother going through if the snow was worse than that).
They look good although that wasn't a consideration. There were no issues with balancing the tires with my rims.
