I also noticed a drop in mpg compared to stocks

^i'm on my third and haven't noticed a drop in mpg or premature wear. i do only get about 20k out of the rears, 30-39k on fronts

they also come with a mileage warranty so they pro-rate the tires that don't make it to 45k

Most mileage warranties do not apply fully to staggered setups as found on most 370's. Michelin PSS has a 30,000 mile warranty but, if staggered it is only 15,000 miles.

He was, but like most people, you see the title "What tires do you run" and automatically disregard all else and just post based on the title alone.

If his title was more descriptive (ex: what's a good all-season tire?) then he'd get the answers he's looking for.

That being said, I'm on stock tires still :p

Your user name prolly tells us already.:icon17:

And I like my Yokohama Advan Sport too. The only complain is the road noise.

That's VERY lucky for you lol. On Michelin's website it even states that on any staggered set up, the rears mileage warranty is cut in half lol

Someone dispell my ignorance please. =\

not sure if 'bettery buy' should be based on wear longitivity.

i rather have a short lived great tire vs a medicre tire (not that im saying pss is a mediocre tire, i hear they are great tires) that lasts forever on my sports car. :facepalm:

:iagree: It's like worrying about mileage or cargo space in the 370.
