He has been, but that's becuase he wants to be running max-performance summers, which they're not. To put it in context, he's comparing his tire needs to RE070's and RT-615's.

I've known a number of people happy with the Pirellis, and I'll be tossing Mike's on my car as soon as he puts his new sticky rubber on......

wait, what?

tahoe would be out on either of those... been there, spun that. for the ammount of rain we get here, the 115's are good enough. i had some of those with about half worn thread for last years rainy season and never had issues.

right now i'm on fading Michelin Pilot Sports (at only 10,000 miles) w/ rear wheel drive... i'm NOT looking forward to the rainy season at all

a friend of mine (also has a g35) put a set of Avon Tech M550 tires on his car. he says they are pretty comparable to the stock pilot sports in the dry and far superior in rain or light snow. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....e1=yes&place=0
