i hear you ryan...i have thought about that a whole lot, especially lately. but i think that i'm going to go with the bridgestone potenza's s-03 pole positions. they have some kick a$$ ratings and luke (@ tirerack) said they beat out the pilots. i talked with him today.
so hopefully but next week i'll have them on, balanced, and aligned. another $400 later!!!!!! these tires are costing me a fortune!

they better ride very, very nice!
