#9533 of 11722 Michelins by otis123 Jan 07, 2004 (10:44 am)
My Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires on my LLBean now have 13K miles. Seem to be wearing very well. Finally got to test them in snow and they were fine - same as original Wilderness tires.   When new I could go through 2" of standing water at 70mph w/out hydroplaning - like riding on rails. They seem to be losing a little of their cutting edge now, starting to slightly hydroplane in the same situation. BUT, any other tire would hydroplane way earlier....   Dry performance is the same as when new - outstanding. Noise is the same, too (average). If they go to 30K miles I will buy them again - even though they were $158. a pop.   Ralph

We were doing 80-100mph in standing water on the NE Extension of the PA Turnpike during the 48hrs. My 245-45-16 SP5000s on the SVX handled it well with 30K miles on them.   -mike

Was trailing the SVX at those speed range with the WRX wagon wearing 205/55-16 SP5000s [NEW] and they held well.   -Dave   p/s my max speed on that trip was 106 mph until my speed limiter started nagging

And I was trailing along at the end with my year old Dunlop Sport A2's on my 00 OBW at the same speeds with no problem.   Mark

We should get Dunlop to sponsor us next year! Adam had SP5000s on the STi as well!   -mike

No cupping of your Sport A2s as they wear? How many miles on them? If not, what is your rotation routine? I suspect X rotation might help the cupping issue. I rotated front/back which will be changed to X going forward.   Greg
#9540 of 11722 re element antenna issues by vetmats Jan 07, 2004 (4:28 pm)
Have you thought about a satellite radio? that should pick up anywhere.
#9541 of 11722 re element antenna issues by pathtomax Jan 08, 2004 (7:08 am)
I agree with the antenna point on one occasion: When I use the rear defrost my reception suffers and it remains staticy for about 5 minutes.   FWIW- I have the XM satellite rigged in my car and it is wonderful!

Greg,   I haven't noticed any cupping on the Dunlop's. As for the rotation pattern, I have been a lazy person having the dealer do it. At this rate I will never get into the OCD club. I have approx. 20k miles on them with no problems so far.   Mark
