Smile New Tires

I was suprised at how good a price I could get Michellin's through my Porsche dealer was. My local Porsche dealer chages 200.00 more for 4 Michellin's (mounted and balanced) than I can get them for from tire rack. But that extra 200.00 includes shipping, mounting and balancing.

That sounds like a pretty good price to me, especially because I normally hang around when they are doing any work on my car to pick the brains of the mechanic.

I am close to the wear markers at several spots on the rear tires these days and its suprising how much easier it is to get the rear wheels to slide around on corners compared to when I had some tread on the suckers. I am very interested to see how much quieter, if at all, and how the ride compares with the Michellin's I am getting and my current Pirelli's.
