I needed tires badly, and wanted a tire with a more aggressive tread. SOO heres what I ended up with. Payed 80$ a tire and I must say I'm pretty impressed. although these tires do cause slight under steer after the slight dip you feel, you can feel the tire catch. They definitely have a nice smooth ride on the highway and over most bumps on back roads. I really hope that these with the AWD will kick butt this winter because I do A LOT of winter driving.
I also installed new front brakes. the old pads where 1-2mm thick :mad: So I am glad I replaced those. another 48$ on my new car tab. Will do the rears soon I suppose.

I generally skid around corners at a good speed without drifting and only have about 35-40k miles on my 80k mile Michelin tires but only show to have about 20k left on them. I like those new tires you got.

I had Michelin Harmony on my old wheels 215/50R16. And let me tell you, they suck in dry and wet pavement. Once (road was semi wet), i took a sharp right turn at 35mph, the whole car just swung sideways..and it didn't happen on my old set of tires either. I would never get Michelins again :eek:
