[DML] Re: Michelin Pilot Tires(was Last call for Yokos)

["Walter" <Whalt@xxxx>]

My new Michelin tires arrived yesterday from tirerack.com. I haven't
mounted them on the rims yet because I am working on possibly exchanging my
rims for refurbished powder coated rims from a DeLorean vendor.

Despite being shipped basically naked, the tires fared fine on their journey
here tied together in pairs with packing slips taped to the sides. I really
can't complain.

I got the all black side-wall design. As I remember, I also had the choice
of raised white lettering (RWL). The fronts & rears look identical with the
exception of the size specification on the sidewalls (duh!). The
proportions, graphics & tread all match perfectly front-to-rear. Unlike the
Yokohomas, the Michelins are not side specific.

The invoice looked something like this:
P235/60HR15 Pilot XGT H4 $106.00 each
P195/60HR14 Pilot XGT H4 $87.00 each
Shipping to Florida was $38.18 UPS Ground with an invoice total of $424.18

As a side note, they smell awful! I don't recommend storing them in the air
conditioned part of where you live. I'm anxious to see how they handle. By
that time I might have already replaced the front shocks in installed the
lowered springs, so I might loose my objectivity. When I'm done, I expect
the results to be terrific.
