I'm thinking seriously of going to Pirellis on my rear. With my driving habits and a 505 Turbo, the MXV4s aren't lasting that well...As far as traction's concerned, well, you can posi out over 100 feet on MXV4s with a 505T running stock boost.

Also, when spin balancing tires, Michelins typically take the least weight, which is a good indication of quality control. BTW when racing Saab's on banked oval tracks, the Pirellis handle better but don't last more than 50 laps without serious failures, the Michelins slide but last almost all season!
