  1. I am at 19K on the original Pirellis and probably only have another 8-10K before I too am in the market. Currently leaning towards the Yokohamas just becasue winters in Colorado can be ugly and the reviews all say the snow performance is pretty decent. I don't want to go the dedicated snow wheel/tire route, but I also don't want to end up like this guy -> :headspin:

  2. I too get a "howl" on a specific blacktop road but only when I am doing 50-55mph and only on this specific 2 mile stretch. I have 19K on the tires. it is weird becasue the only other time I hear anything like it is on the interstate which is grooved concrete. I wonder if there is enough "voids" in the blacktop surface to cause the noise?

  3. I have a 2011 AWD Sport, 14K miles, the onboard computer says I am getting 18.2 of around town driving, my trusty calculator says I am getting 17.9... I think if I had a lighter foot those numbers would be better, plus 6K feet above sea level doesn't help either ;)

  4. TireRack shows no tires are available in that size!

     

    Toyo Proxes come in that size, the taller sidewall might make for a slightly smoother ride. The 'mark 1 eyeball' says they should fit... but I have no actual knowledge. If you try, please let us know :)

  5. We just got our first snowfall of the season in Colorado Springs. I was pleasantly surprised by how well the Sport handled the conditions of packed snow and occasional icy spots. Yeah it wanted to slip if I got overly aggressive coming away from a stop light or slammed on the brakes, but driving appropriately for the conditions was totally uneventful. I was a little worried about those 22 inch Pirellis, but not anymore
