That's a better deal than tirerack.com then. I ordered my two fronts
from tirerack and they were the same price except an extra $27 for
shipping. I'll be ordering my rears from Discount Tire Direct. I too
am very happy with the Michelin Pilot Sport. Make sure you get the "AS
ZP" (all-season zero pressure) designation which is their runflat
because they have non-runflats also. It took awhile to find a
reasonable price for mounting the runflats though- most tire shops
wanted $50 apiece.

Rally Distributing in Tulsa mount and balanced my tires for $55 per set.
They also stick the wheel weights on the inside so as not to scratch the
wheels. Great service and a great price.

I bought the Michelin A/S Pilot ZP 2 weeks ago, man what a difference!
Smooth and quiet not like the Goodyears.

How do they look on the car? The Kumho tires look like round fat
balloons. Do your Michelin's look like the Goodyears? I am talking
about the side-wall appearance.
