Ahhhh, I feel like a new man!! And @ $177 per, it feels even better. The only unpleasant part about getting the VIPER OEM Pilot Sports was having to listen to the guy at NTB giving me lip about not buying them from them.

He said they would match ANY TireRack price +$15 (per tire)...of course, then I said that I saved another $28 on the sales tax, and that shipping was only $20, so I still would have saved $38 bucks even with his best offer.

What grip!!

JunFan out.

Are you running matching fronts, or mixing brands?

How is the fit relative to the regular 275 width pilot sports?

How do they look? Do you have pictures? Can you notice any difference in looks or are there clearance problems? Is the ride still OK?

Can you notice that it looks different than the stock 275 Michelins?

Where did you go?

I have the OEM Michelin's on the front.

As far as I can tell, the tires are virtually identical if viewed from the side. There is a little difference in tread...I'll try to take a picture and post it later on today.

The ride is fantastic.

What kind of tire pressure are you running? I had them installed last week and my mechanic recommends 35 PSI. I checked a Viper's stats and they recommend 35 PSI. That's way down from the 40+ I was running with the Pirelli's I had on before.
