Ahhhh. New tires

My "new to me" 07 MCS cabrio came with 2 Pirelli euphia@ RF on the front and Michelin Pilot Sport on the back. Vibration at 70mph was substantial. Today had 4 Bridgestone Potenza 019 Grid mounted. Dear lord, why did I wait this long. The difference is unreal. This feels like I am stuck to the road with glue. Why did I wait 3 weeks? Now the "old" 4 tires which probably have less than 2000 miles on them go to ebay. When I travel longer distance I plan to bring a little 4x100 donut with just in case. Hell, I have AAA gold - I can't say I'm that worried. This car, which I thought could not possibly be more pleasing, just became more pleasing!
Love it!!!!!!!!!
Phil
