Well, I ended up ordering the Kumho ECSTA ASX's from TireRack. They're very well ranked but just a little bit under the Pirellis which I almost went for. They were $32 more per tire, and I figure I'll never really know the difference. These new tires will be so much better than what I have now, I truly can't wait. Sad as it is, I'm actually really excited to get these things. Of course, then I have to pay another $100 to get them mounted and balanced and all of that crap, but it's worth it, because otherwise I'd just have these really cool tires sitting in my garage forever
Thanks for everyone's input and help on this matter.
