The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric All-Season followed at a level that was a noticeable step behind. The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 is able to start and stop in the snow with adequate capability, but struggles somewhat during cornering/handling. Trailing the others by a noticeable margin was the Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus, requiring just over 30' longer to stop our test car from just 25mph than the ExtremeContact DWS.

What I really want to see from tirerack or someone else is a comparison of best AS tires to summers and winters. (in dry, wet, and snow)

I have so much research to do on tires while I wait for my car to arrive. It was picked up at the dealer in CA today, ETA 7/5. (How fortunate that my work from home day is Tuesday!) expect more pics of my boring 4cyl then. :-)

Yay! Picked up my car at Walmart today. More pics to follow... I'm working from home today, but I'm finding it difficult to keep ass in chair and hands on keyboard. I want to go outside and play with the car!

Update after a couple days of commuting and one fun drive: I love this car! It feels so solid, yet speedy and responsive. That said, paint protection film is an immediate need. Heard gravel hit the car a couple of times today and cringed; gave it a wash when I got home and found about 8 tiny chips -- only visible from up close, but still... Sheesh! After one spirited rural drive...

And wow, brake dust! I suspect wheel cleanings will become a weekly ritual. :-) Sonax stocked.
