Purchased new tires

Thank you for your responses to my earlier inquiry regarding upgrading to 225-50/16 tires from the stock 115-55/16. I went with Firestone SZ50 EP as they have been touted on Tire Rack user comment boards. What a pleasant difference over the Michelin touring tires. The tires very quiet for being ultra high performance, and they stick like glue around curves. My 9-5 leans less due to the slightly lower profile (50 vs. 55). For anybody considering the Bridgestone Pole Position 3, you may want to give this tire a look as it is made in Japan by Bridgestone and is supposed to be basically the same tire base with a second layer compound that should last a little longer than the Bridgestone P3. Price is much better too, possibly because Firestone still has poor product name reputation over the SUV fiasco. A Firestone store matched Tire Rack prices, and I get the free rotation every 5K.
