The Perellis are bad -- but they aren't that bad.
I am getting new shoes for my car tomorrow. Decided to go with the Continental ExtremeContact DW.

Oh yes they are, Never got more than 10K from the rear Pirellis. About a 2:1 ratio of how fast the rears go to the fronts. I just put on a set of the Falken 912s. What fiasco that was. The rears were gone so I needed new ones and didn't want to spend money on the Pirellis ever again. So I bought the rears which had to be ordered in (over a month a go). after a week I went in to find out where the rears are. they had a special going, buy 4 tires that weekend and get a $100 back. So I ordered fronts also. 2 weeks go by and still no call. so I go in "you have my tires or what?" they say oh yeah, you want them on right now? didn't have time that day so 2 weeks go by and I finally have time. go in for the install, and cars on the rack rears are dismounted and they tell me they can't find the fronts. Am I interested in 'free upgrade to yokahama s drive"? Do they have the 40k mileage warranty? No, not interested. another week goes by and they finally have the 912s. Installed last week and I am very happy with them. Very predictable and of course the 40K mileage warranty. I paid $175 for the rears 265/35/18 and $128 for the fronts 225/40/18 + tax,install,waste. Almost half the price of the Pirellis. Discount Tire, and they did the road force balancing for no additional cost for the inconvience.
