You must be fairly thrilled, then. I don't think I was this excited when I bought my condo!

I have the DW on the rears and am VERY happy with them. Living in Vancouver where it rains 13 months out of the year the wet traction is an exceptional bonus, on top of the fact they are quiet, reasonably priced. I still have the stock conti 5 up front and looking to get the DW up front too as its about due. I thought you couldnt get the DW in front size with the XL load rating?

OP, congrats on your car and have fun!

My 2011 came with Yokohamas...are you sure yours are Pirellis? I am in Canada too.

No, I'm not certain at this point - will find out tomorrow.

Regardless, I asked parts (at the dealer) because I was there buying some SmartCar swag for the girlfriend (she just got it recently), and I asked them about the replacement tires - and they said they were $600/each.

If you stay stock at 235/40/18 you can get an XL in that size. They do also have a SL. Check Tirerack.com. They have one listed in the DW under specs and I had an XL 235 on my car.
