What you guys think... About these tires

http://www.americastire.com/dtcs/fin...=LAIINT&cs=225

Curious if that will give me the right feeling compared to the stock tires or any recommendations are welcome. Thanks in advance for the reply!

Good street tires but don't accept heat as well as other high performance summer tires in my experiences.

Can't go wrong with MPSS for a street tire unless you're driving in cold weather/snow!

I went from the stock primacy Michelin to a 225/45 Pilot sport A/S Plus, and now I have 245/40 MPSS.

I love them!

Worth every penny... minimal road noise, pretty smooth ride with the right amount of tire pressure, sharp turn-in, and colossal amounts of grip. I'm running 235/40/18, though.
