Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV

Was curious if anyone was running the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV tires yet?

I have the 21" 808M wheels that have only been coming with the Pirelli's and am soon going to order these as the only other listed tire that come in these sizes. Hoping for better ride quality, handling and lower road noise.

They are available through Discount Tire and are actually less expensive than the Pirelli's.

I have the 808 M wheels as you and Im actually ordering these today. I have the Pirelli's and im trying to get a little smoother ride. Also, the Pirelli's are very sticky and pick up everything. Ill give up a little stickiness for some comfort. Im going with a different size. 295/40/21 and 315/40/21 in hopes to knock of that hard edge. I also think they will look a little better as they are about an inch taller. The Pirelli's have been good, no real complaints other than they pick up everything and toss it at my rockers.

All high performance tires will do this. It's the nature of the beast.
