The car was shod with a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports, for two reasons.
Firstly, they were rated very favourably on Tirerack and other sites, and secondly, I have a retired uncle that had an unused set of tire coupons that had to be used before year's end.
Nothing better than a roughly 25% discount on a set of premium tires. That and another $70 rebate directly from Michelin too.
Sadly, I'll have to wait until the spring to report on new tire awesomeness.

There is one thing better and that's winning a set of PSS which I did in the Werk's Facebook photo contest. I had been using Hankook and Sumitomo tires due to cost but these PSS are all they are cracked up to be. Ride quality, low noise and superb handling with the best warranty and customer service around. When the rears wear out this time I won't pinch pennies and I'll replace with a new set. You'll have fun with these.
