My new fav:
Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S
Store/Site purchased: Tire Rack.com
Initial product impressions, quality:Rated at a "High Performance" tire on Tire Rack these are the best tires that have ever been on my Alero. After 30,000 miles still have a little over 1/2 tread life. Wheel hop is gone after hard accel, but was there when the tires were new. Cornering is much imporved and this is the first season I raced the 1/4 mile with these on the car and they grip the track like nothing else. Not even a chrip.
If not self installed, cost of installation: $40 mounted and balanced
The price has gone up for my size (225/45/17) to a whopping $176 a tire (I paid $168) but well worth the money. Thinking back to the Yokos I had that lasted just under 30,000 miles, and the Sumitomo HTR+ that only lasted about 20,000 miles, those 2 sets of tires cost me a total of $852, at a little under $700 for these, well the choice is clear, just from a finacial standpoint
