They are indeed very good tires. Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do.

Glad you got fitted out with new shoes.

It doesn't ride like a dump truck anymore.8 year old tires didn't help the ride, but I noticed the same ride improvement on my 350ML Benz when I changed from Perrilli to Premier LTX Michelins
