I think I'm going to get these...
Re: I think I'm going to get these...
I got them and I'm happy. The only problem I've had has been getting stuck from a stop, in DEEP snow. Like 6-10". And driving a RWD car with low-profile tires in 6" of snow isn't all that bright, so I'm not going to go blaming the tires. Fine in the rain/wet.

Re: I think I'm going to get these...
I tried to buy Advan s4 today, 4 to 6 weeks delivery, direct from Japan. Best next deal was Pirelli rosso (PZero nero). I ordered them (installed tomorrow), them came home and did some research and discovered they where Summer tires, no good on any snow (we can get a dump any time of the year in Edmonton). So its going to be Pilot A/S, can't get them till the 8th. So its a mow the lawn weekend and Hunnydo. ARGH. Moral of the story is if you live in Canada start looking for the tires you want several months in advance!!! Pricing fronts $388, rears $470, plus-plus 6% GST, Labour $100, and 5% for "Other Stuff" Close to 2 grand $ Can.

Got them installed this morning. Wouldn't you know it - a state trooper followed me on the highway all the way to work so I couldn't play. Initial reaction is very positive - still need some time to break them in, but they feel good and hold well with Less "tracking"...
Re: I think I'm going to get these...
I was going to run them a few more miles before a review, but here goes. Traction and stickiness in corners is excellent. They feel real solid on the road and I get a real secure feeling even at higher speeds. They are a bit noisier than the Conti's, but only noticeable when the top is down - and not "much" noisier. All in all my first impression is that they are really good tires.
Excellent rain traction - even though we haven't had a whole lot of that lately.
