A friend of mine with a widebody Redeye Challenger just put 4 Michelin Sports on it. He said that the ride and handling is great. No comparison between the Pirellis and the Michelins.

Only bought 2 for the front so not sure I will have any feed back. I run drag radials on the rear
I'm one of the gluttons for punishment that road courses mine. More interested in how they wear and also corner vs hooking.

Just a FYI.

I bought a couple PZeros from Amazon for a great price. I didn't put them on for a couple of months. When I did the cases were so far out of round they were junk. I contacted Amazon and they told me to contact Pirelli that they weren't going to do anything for me.

I just tossed them in the used tire scrap pile at the tire store.

Another lesson learned.

For those that are not aware, these high performance rubber compounds have a relatively short shelf life.

While they don't become "unusable", they do lose their grip after only a few years.

My Mickey Thompson Street Rs is on their 3rd year. I've been expecting them to start giving up but they seem to be hooking better than ever.

Michelin has buy one get one free on any set of 4 tires from 3/12/22 thru 4/30/22....lol...Raised price 115 a tire so an average of 460 for a set of 4 now, then they will give one free when you buy 4 is right back to original price before they raised it from last year!! TURDS! But these stock crack gabbing Pirellis piss me off in just driving around ! Any crack, or malformity in the pavement they just jump on it like a magnet!

See how the dealer ship works with my warranty I have on tires and wheels. I have 2 tires with chunks of rubber out. Maybe the u turns at 80?? Couple of nicks in the wheels will have to be replaced. See how this warranty holds up.

If they replace tires for you, let us know.

Because then we will want to see her (the dealer owners’) picture.

I wheel. I knew what I was going to do when I got this car. Burn the tires up was on the top of the list. Damn aluminum wheels can't take the Florida curbs especially you are in and out of a gated community. Eat out every night. So, going for tires and wheels. That is why I bought the contracts. Owned a lot of GM products that I destroyed the wheels.

Tires DO make a difference with the tramlining issue. When 1st got my Infiniti M45s it was a beotch to drive, felt like a wrestling match with the steering wheel on many roads. Others were complaining loudly as well. Dumped the Bridgestones that it came with and went to Conti Extreame summers and that cleared up 95% of the problem. Car rode better as an extra bonus !!

I just put 4 Michelin Pilot Sport 4s on Last week of April with just a little under 5000 miles on the stock P Zero's. Really like the Michelins! Will report again 10000, 15000 as well if I can remember to :). So with tax and all 1699. - 70.00 Michelin mail in Rebate= 1629. out the door mounted, balanced including tax with Rebate 407.25 a tire. Not sure if that's a good price, but very happy with the tires!
