Re: [DML] Re: Tire Replacement

Yeah, I realized after sending that message that I should have been more specific.  The tires I run are the Pilot XGT H4.
 
To me, cheap tires are no more quiet than my Michelins, but I found them scary to drive on.  Hard cornering/braking on dry pavement gave me a really uneasy "sliding" feeling --something I'm not used to happening on my car.  They just didn't grip close to as well as the Pilots.

Michelin seems to call a lot of tires "Pilots". Are these Pilot 
Sports or something else (H-something)? The Sports are noisy, 
expensive and don't last very long, at least on my M3. I think the 
DeLorean size is in a different and somewhat more long-lived line.

I've driven a couple of DeLoreans on no-name tires (Cooper, , low-
line Goodyear etc) and honestly think they ride nicer in everyday 
driving than my Yokos. But you will give up some handling capability 
(more understeer).
