The Tire Rack, Discount Tire, or Costco.

Ditto, this is my current setup. You cannot beat the price. Grip is good, work well in the rain (as best a ZR rated soft compound tire can), and they will last longer too....

Yes. And that's why I'm running the General UHP's. Actually, I prefer the UHP's to the OEM's.

So do I. Not all the M's came with the Pilot Sports OEM. Some (mine) came with the ContiContact Sports. M's are very exspensive cars to own....

I'm learning they can be but the don't have to be. For example, I ordered the oem oil change kit (oil, filter, etc), cabin filter, serpentine belt, wiper blade refills and a new air filter for $150 delivered. At my local dealership, I was paying $90 for oil + filter only!!! (I do the work myself)

Same thing with tires, was paying $300+/ea for the PS1's but now, I get the 4 UHP's & alignment for @ $600 out the door.[headbang]

But seriously, it's silly to pay $300+/ea; you could buy a set of UHP's and pay for a valve adjustment for the same price practically. Or get a short shifter or some other mod... Or a very nice supply of beer.
