    Sam's Club will offer an $80 rebate on Pirelli tires on May 17. They have the P4 model 15" size for $85.54 with a 90,000 mile tread warranty. Does anyone have experience with Pirelli or P4? Sam's currently has a $70 rebate on Goodyear tires. $70 Michelin rebate starts May 18. I have additional rims with snow tires mounted for winter use. 34,000 miles driven last year. Thank you.

    We bought Pirelli P7's for our G37 and they run smooth and quiet. This weekend I was studying All Season tires for my Prius Three. Pirelli P7's are rated a very close second place to Michelin Premier. If I can get the Pirelli's here locally I'd choose them for the Prius. If not I will be happy with Michelin Premier. Third place is the Continental Pure Contact w/Eco Plus. Decision is based on wet/dry/snow traction, and noise from a number of sources including an excellent comp from Tire Rack.

    This may be true but for an All Season tire going into Winter I would give up to LRR for traction on wet and snow road surfaces.
