sluggish, that's the difference between a/s and performance tires. you lose the quickness but gain the versatility
+1 plus the "treadlife vs. cost" factor.

I have these same Pilots and absolutely love 'em. They provide all the sportiness I desire in addition to their lack of tire roaring and MUCH better treadlife. When I'm spending this much to put tires on staggered 19's I can't justify the short treadlife of the performance/summer tires.

I think you made a great tire choice! Hope they win you over as the miles add up.

A/S tires smoke better when you light them up.
