There is no question in my mind that the weak link in the handling is the stock tire. I don't expect to get too many people to disagree with that point on this forum. The rear tires seem to break loose all the time in sharp cornering with throttle applied.
I will wait, however, until the stock tires wear out. Still, have you noticed that the Primacy tire ($182 each "on special" at Tire Rack) costs
more than the Pilot Super Sport ($135 each, regular price at Tire Rack)? Why on earth would you pay more for a less grippy replacement tire? Certainly, I plan to upgrade then. Others may want to replace their tires now and the cost may not matter to them.
