That's only when it sits for a week or more though that it's bad like that.
As for tires,I really recommend P Zero Rossos. I didn't realize how good they were until lost them. They were a little bit sticker then the S-03s I used to have,where the S-03s would start to break the Rosses stuck on a little more,but it seemed like the Rossos gave without any sign though while the S-03s would give signs of the grip breaking.
Don't buy BF Goodrich(don't know the model) if you want sporty,I have them now and they are only good for driving on from a-b,I won't be recommending these to anyone besides soccer moms.
Have you looked into Falken Azeni Rt-615s?

They are great tires but don't last long. |
I'm not saying they don't flat-spot, but it's not a permanent condition. Drive the car and the symptoms go away. If not, and you're on Pirellis, you have other issues.
I agree with you on the pirellis, I think they're much maligned on this forum ! They're really very good tires. I WILL replace my current set with the same next spring. They're spendy, and not the longest lasting, but having experienced
Ironstones... er... Bridgestones, Dunlops, Continentals and Goodyears, I have to say that the perellis outperform them all (subjective of course).
One interesting tire is the Cooper. We replaced the conti's on my wife's car with a Cooper Touring Tire and nothing but positives to say regarding price, wear, Dry/Wet traction, etc They make a Hi-perf tire and considering the price difference, I may (emphasis on
may) give them a shot.
