Time For New Tires!
So right now im running 205/55-16 in the front, 225/50-16 in the rear... Michelin Pilot Primacy all around.. i love the tires, but they are quite expensive, and hard to come by in my sizes.. any other tires where i can get equal performance/comfort/longevity? oh also that are low profile like these as well

If you haven't done so just go to TireRack and plug in your car info. See what pops up. TireRack is great to do business with. BTW, performance/low profile and comfort/longevity are pretty much mutually exclusive. Soft rubber and stiff/low sidewalls are great for performance. Hard rubber and soft/big sidewalls are great for comfort and longevity.
So what your seeking is difficult to find -- sort of like a Ferrari which gets great gas mileage.
Good luck.

My 2 cents...Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus. I have about 2500 mi. on these. The wear seems good so far, rides very smoothly at high speed, and would be a step up in performance ratings from the Primacy.
