I was planning to replace the stock Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires with some UHP All Season tires but was forced to! I was driving on the highway when the TPMS warning came on showing right front tire at 21psi. Was still driving normal so I just monitored for a bit and then watched it drop every couple minutes or so and I thought maybe i picked up a nail. I knew I was just a few exits from a Discount Tire so I pressed on and watched it drop to 7psi at the exit I needed.
Pulled into Discount Tire and they measured the tread and found the inner fronts were worn down to the belts!
As you are aware, we don't have a spare so I had to put a replacement on and couldn't really shop for a specific tire. They only had one set in my size which was Continental ControlContact Sport SRS. I hadn't even heard of these before and apparently they are made specifically for Discount Tire.
So far I like them, ride is good and quiet. I haven't really pushed them in corners yet but the store manager told me his son has them on his Subaru WRX and really likes them so we'll see.
