Pilot Sport A/S 3+ worth it over the DWS 06?

I would recommend having them sent to a local Firestone or Discount Tire. Firestone has been ~$65 OTD for mounting 4 tires. On my 275/35R19 they charged more because they're lower profile.

Wait...what size is the Pirelli's that's come with the car? Is it going to look weird going with a 40 vs 35?...even though the 40's will be a little more forgiving with bumps and such.

I also contacted Firestone. They were significantly more expensive than the local tire shop by my work. And from asking around today I got rave reviews so I'm probably going with them unless I can find a tire rack coopin...then I'll have them shipped to that same shop.

Thanks!

If you have to deal with cold and/or inclement weather then the dws 06 is great if you cant have a winter setup. I have a hard time getting mine to spin the wheels in the wet and cold. But seeing youre in PA and depending where you may be i think a real winter setup is almost needed.

If you dont deal with the weather i would think a summer tire would be best. One that, unlike the pirellis, can handle weather under 50 degrees.

I spoke to the tire shop and the guy said their machine doesn't even touch the rim. However, he said if the part does touch the rim it is plastic so it won't scratch/damage the rim at all.

So at this point I'm still looking for coupon codes for tirerack.com, but if I buy from this local shop the OTD price for 4 Firehawk Indy 500's mounted and balanced would be $754.
