Also, do you know the actual tire type and sizes used? (i.e. was the Michelin a 275/35 or 275/30...?). It will be interesting what the specs out on say Tirerack.com say.
The Michelin is a 275/40/20 Latitude Sport which is an SUV load rated version of the PS2 from my old Porsche Cayenne

The Continental is a 265/35/19 Contisport which is OEM stock from my 2011 M3 ZCP

The Yokohama is a 255/35/20 Advan Sport which in the OEM tire on my 2014 Audi S6.

I recently purchased a new Audi S6. I had the stock tires removed and replaced with OEM sized winter tires prior to delivery. When I looked at the width of the Yokohamas, I had to do a double take on the size because they seemed so wide. Indeed, my comparative measurements of all these unmounted tires lying on a flat surface confirmed my initial impression.
