[DML] michelin pilot

[Soma576@xxxxxxx]

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
