More Or Less Better, Or Worse?

Swapped out a set of winter tires for summer tires over the weekend. Oddly, I have always noticed more difference when going from summers to winters than vice-versa. Got me thinking about audio gear. Curious if any 'Goners have done back-and-forth testing for SQ differences and, if so, would you describe those differences to be of the same magnitude when going up to better sound as when going down to lesser sound.

Elizabeth- sounds like you like to drive like I do!
How about your system? Have you noticed any difference in perceived SQ regarding an improvement v a reduction (percentage-wise)?

Oh no, I meant that I can tell a bigger loss in grip and response after putting on snows than an improvement in grip after putting on summers. Sorry my post seemed confusing.
When I change to summer tires I notice a moderate amount of improvement in grip and responsiveness.
When I change to winter tires I notice a large amount of loss of grip and responsiveness.
Both of those observations are on dry pavement.
Obviously, the winter tires are dynamite on snow...
Hopefully that seems clearer.

Interesting! I would never have thought of that.
Yes, agree going back and forth seems to yield the most honest answers.
Always enjoy reading your posts, keep them coming!
Happy listening :)!
