You went thru the Nitto's already or just changed them out? I like the look of those Michelins, they are usually much higher priced then most other tires. How much was the cost difference?

Some guy I knew swore by them, the invos and I wore them down to the belts,I probably have 1000 burn outs on them.the directional feel is way better to, the steering wheel literally feels more sensitive.

ive been trying to figure out what this clunking is that i feel in my wheel when im turning that i cannot hear at all. I feel the vibration of this clunk through the wheel but theres no noise, its driving me nuts.

These are the Nitto I was thinking about, I like the tread design and the price is good.

Maybe inner or outer tie rod, I had some play on my front end,I replaced everything, control arms, tie rod inner/outer some bushings, made everything nice and new feeling .I do have a problem with my steering rack, it makes ticking noises when turning, but I'll just drive it till it fails, no drivability issues that I notice from it.I also need new subframe bolts,I never replaced them with new when I did my trans a year ago and it creeks and pops at sharp angles/drive way

I don't have the Pilot Super Sports, but I do have the Pilot Sport AS/3s and I love them. minimized torque steer while adding steering feel. Plus the look great with their flat, flush sidewalls.
