here's a surprise...Firestone Firehawk SZ50 EP wins Ultra High Performance spot...Kumho ECSTA's come in 9th place

here's an even bigger surprise...guess where our STOCK Michelin Pilot MXM4's rank in Grand Touring A/S?? DEAD LAST Acura sure can pick 'em

To date I am very happy with mine. I have over 16,000mi. on them with no problems. They inspire confidence in all conditions that I have driven in. No snow here in south Texas though.

I think they made their choices according to the best all around performance tire. Here in FLA the summer tire is fine. I'm happy with my Yoko's.

I will stick with the Es100... I am afraid that the firestones go blow up...

At under 100 bucks a pop, the Sumitomos have got to be the best value. Since I've now found bubbles on the sidewalls of two of these Michelins (opposite corners...how does that happen?), I think I'll make the upgrade for half the price. Now to see if I can get Sears to price match...
What size HTR+ would you use on the stock rims? I'm leaning toward 225/45/17, but some people have mentioned 235/45/17. Suggestions?
