It is definitely looking like that for mine.

Thanks for all your replies.

I’ve decided to not move forward with summer performance tires this year

Couple factors-
Imminent release of new Michelin S5

Back surgery in July that will take me out of the driver seat for 2 months until September.

May as well wait to next year.

Thanks to all for your contributions!

What tires do you have on the car currently and when were they manufactured?

Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3 about 1-1/2 or two years old on the back. 10k miles

Fronts approaching wear bars. They will be replaced.

Well it sounds like you'll be fine until you're back in action. Sending all my best and hoping for an uneventful surgery, and wishing you a full and speedy recovery.

OOF sorry to hear that. Back surgery is no joke and seems like a lot of it is 50/50 shot. Hopefully it takes and may you be back in action soon!

Yeah, hopefully it fixes my condition. Minimal pain, it’s the loss of lower body and leg strength caused by stenosis that is the problem

The surgery cuts off the back of the spinal vertebrae and they use a dremel type tool to enlarge the nerve openings from the spinal cord.

It’s this impingement causing loss of strength and sensation.

Surgeon says this is a solid risk/reward surgery.

Another surgeon recommended a T10psf which is spinal fusion up to a vertebrae somewhere between shoulder blades. I said no to that. I refuse to live like a fossil.
