I put the Michelin pilot sport A/S on the box. Expensivo, but hey it's me were talking about here! They perform well here in Florida wet or dry, are quiet and have been wearing well. I paid the extra for hazard and have replaced one, no questions asked after a sidewall got cut. The car had the same tires on when I got it but they were old. The PPI noted that and I negotiated to split the cost. The old tires looked great and even drove well, or so I thought until the new set was mounted.

I replaced the Pirellis on my F150 with Nitto Crosstecs.They do not make the Pirelli I was using anymore. The guys at the tire shop where I have been spending a lot of time and money recommended the Nitto brand. They said Nitto is trying to get into the market and thus were a great deal. Of course there was a difference in price and performance. You get what you pay for. I saved a couple of hundred, I got a rougher ride. The Nitto's handle the road well wet or dry so far. They are a little noisier and seem to flat spot.The tread seems to collect gravel all the time. They do look great on the vehicle. I do not know if this will apply to their performance tires, I could not find very many reviews of their products on-line when I was in the market early this year.
