I hope you have snow tires if you're using those in Montreal.

Got to start somewhere and a good set of tires can really transform a car. You are off to a great start

Let us know how they do! You know. 5, 15,000 mile. I'll look em up and save you the mileage warranty questions.

Had to get the Michelin pilot sport AS3+ shipped, but discount/America's tire will do anything but give a discount to make a sale

So far got about 7ish to 10k miles on them. They're nice for all-seasons, don't create drag from grip like the more performance oriented stuff. But I'm far from in love. The love will show up when I burn them up by 25-30k miles and get my refund.

Firehawk Indy 500

My urban drive to work has a few tight turns which can be spirited if you’re in the mood
First drive today and I really feel the grip/more confidence
😮😮
BTW Anyone use a front sway bar?
i have a Progress SB I the back
