There are definately slight tread design differences...

 

If someone here live in the San Francisco bay area and interested in the Pirelli Cinturato P7 AS Plus in 245/45-19, there's currently a set (seller says 125 miles on them) on Craigslist, selling for $600. I contacted him couple weeks ago and he would do $500. Maybe less now?

I decided to go with MPS AS3.

Seller is not me, nor related to me in anyway

 

Where do you guys get your alignment done ?

 

I just had Discount Tire Pirrelli Strada's put on. They are the private label as before mentioned newest version of the P7. The Manager said newer is better and he would swap them out for P7's if I didn't like them. Everybody loves them he said. My car has never ridden this comfortable. Remember I bought my car a couple years ago and it came with new inexpensive Uniroyal Tiger Paws. Live and learn these tires bring my ride to a whole new level. I paid $850 all in but passed on the $25 a tire hazard warranty. No applicable rebate at this time.
