I wandered around Bergstrom Auto nEuropean auto mall. These tires where on the new baby jag which competes against the 3 series beemer, and a bunch of other higher end European cars. It was a total impulse but, blind not my style, and I was told I got the last 4. Anyway got to burn up my pilots, should not take too long, toss these things on. I hope they handle good but seeing them on the cars I saw them on makes me hopeful.

Put the P7's on today. I hit a 2x4 chunk with a nail and blew out a Pilot A/S. Sure I got em cheap and jury is still out but miss my Pilots right off the bat as stuff flys around the car alot more it is over kill smoother sure but not as fun. Not really complaining as the Pilots wore like crud like you all told me but hey I drive for fun not destination. The P7s will get me there but really cant tell a whole lot of a difference between these the Primacies or Comfortreds. If anything liked the MXV4's V rated best in this grand touring class. They are quiet, smooth but nose dive and wallowing is gonna be a thing to get used to. Upgrading to the Sport Sway bar may make a lil difference but you want the LS to handle better summerish tires r the best way. Lets see if I can tolerate the difference get new tires or sell my LS.

I had a leaker in my chrome wheel it was 27 lbs right front when I got home Fixed filled rides good now. Happy plus alignment was spot on after 18 months did not even get charged for the check. Road force balance should get me to 200k.

I had a flat and tire store tried to replace my H rated tire with a T rated tire. H = 130 m.p.h. and T only 118 m.p.h. only been over 100 a few times, and never near 115, soooo, what to do. not ready for 4 new tires yet, still got some tread left and only 27,000 miles on the other 3. no longer made MXV4 Primacies.
