Talking Tires on your TL-S

I am looking to buy a TL-S,and I am
just wondering how the stock tires(Michelin MXM4) are on the TL-S. I know the stock Michelin tires on the GSR just plain stink and if anyone has changed them out or was able to negotiate changing them out in the price and to what. I currently run SP5000 on my GSR for all weather. And noticed that these tires are stock on the Millenia S, which I test drove yesterday and today I am testing the TL-S.

I am also wondering if anyone was able to negotiate the addition of Comptech replacement parts.

Thanks in advance...

tires just plain suck... i'm sure we're losing about 10-15% more ponies just cuz they wont grip... i know for a fact that they make a huge difference cuz i ran an experiment against a 98 accord and it beat me by a car length off the start when he changed his tires to sp7000's, and when i got the same identical tires, i left him by a car length off the start (which is how it should be )

i should mention that this was done with my '00TL, and the TL-S has even more of those little ponies we all love so much, but they are not being used... change the tires!

They were not that great in the snow either (duh), not that they were supposed to be. I would rate them as "alright".
