List, I know the Pilot's have been brought up before, but after burning up a set of Yoko AVS's in 10K miles (the rears anyway, fronts are good), i am looking for the best tire out there. I have read the back issues of the DML and find that most owners go for the XGT's, which look OK to me, but i was wondering if there was anything else decent. A nearby owner has some dunlop's, but i hear they are noisy from other list members. i am primarily concerned with safety, grip, noise, with treadwear and snow traction being relatively unimportant. I also noticed that a LOT of XGT users on tirerack.com's comment list feel they are a waste of money (bad treadlife, poor hydroplane, not very grippy). i also see the XGT's don't have much for water channels. maybe on a wide tire like the 235 they are ok. is the XGT the best out there? i called PJ Grady up and that's what they install. Rob was unavailable for comment. Thanks - Andy [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
