glad to hear it. shops often have various goals when selling tires. some have larger profit margins than others. some are preference, some are just all the salesman has driven on. all tires are trade offs and you traded a few miles and winter driving for better warm dry/rain traction in the spt.
imo the spt is also more cosmetically pleasing to look at

I had Michellin runflats on it. The ride already seems a lot better as some of the road roughness has been smoothed out. I am driving to DC and back this weekend so they will get a real highway test.
