The PS2's are worth more money than the Continentals. Despite the fact Chrysler charges for the Conti All seasons as an option... personally I feel they should have charged more for the PS2's and made them the option.
I was wondering about that. Tirerack has the Continentals for about 1/2 price of the Pilots. Figured people had bought them on their own and the optional A/S were the Pilot A/S.
How bad would it be to have non matching tires front/rear? Thinking of getting some rims and Continentals for the rear, but leave the Pilots on the front for now. Just change back to rear pilots once spring arrives.
