The tires on my car are getting worn, so I decided to find a replacement. I found an interesting site for comparing tires ratings at http://www.tirerack.com/tires/surveyresults/index.jsp This is based on survey information from consumers, but they also have reviews etc. I found that my EOM tires are not rated very well at all (click on the link above, and the tire type to see the headings for the columns below)
| Michelin Energy LX4 | 9 | 75% | 5.6 | 6.4 | 6.8 | 7.1 | 7.8 | 7.4 | 5.8 | 5.5 | 5.2 | 7.7 | 7.7 | 6.4 | 2,484,790 |
A little research at the Acura forum, www.cl.acurazine.comfolks were suggesting the Pirelli. So I checked the specs from the site:
| Pirelli PZero Nero M&S | 2 | 97% | 8.3 | 8.6 | 8.6 | 8.7 | 9.0 | 8.7 | 7.3 | 6.0 | 6.3 | 8.6 | 8.6 | 8.2 | 8,069,763 |
OK, so it looks like a great tire. So how much? would you believe it's actually cheaper by ~$60 a tire? Same tread wear etc. Who would have known?
So this falls into my "I love the Internet" because so often I save money, I get better products based on the USERS of the products.
Cheers!

I know this site offers quality depending articles or reviews and extra information, is there
any other website which presents these kinds of things in quality?
I’m retracting a portion of this. Don’t buy this from them. Use the info from the site, but don’t buy from them ever. I’ve had 4 out of 8 tours go bad, they don’t cover mounting and balancing, and you have a hard time getting folks to even accept a b valid claim. No one available after hours or weekend, you have a flat, you are screwed. The 80 I saved going through them is long gone.
Can’t wait for Don to read this entry … and I do love the Internet … and you. juliereilly oxo
