Will need to replace OEM Pirellis on my 2010 9-3SS soon and I saw on tirerack a screaming deal on Michelin Primacy MXM4s -- $117/corner for 215/55R16 (97H), plus a $70 rebate.
They're low rolling resistance (LRR) tires and I fear they may not stop as quickly or hold the road in corners as well as other tires because of that.
The vehicle is mostly used for freeway communting so cornering may not be a big concern except on weekends but stopping distance is an issue.
Anyone have experience with these tires or other LRRs?
another option are Michelin primacy MXV4s for $127/corner. (I've had the Pilot Exaltos before and they're a great tire but since my wife is just commuting, I thought Grand Touring AS tires would be better).
TIA.
