Ok.. got the tires on. Look good.

I liked the steering better w/the michelins of course, but so far, liking these tires. Will update w/some pics and how she handles on the interstate.

$497.88 + 64 M&B = $561.88. Not bad at all

Well after a day and about 70 miles, I like the tires, but they have somewhat "dulled" the feel of the car vs the Pilots.

Steering and handling felt sharper to me before. The ride is a bit softer now, which at times is good. No noticeable road noise.

I'm still happy w/the choice. No way was I going to drop $1400 on new Pilots. For $500 the Sumis are a good value, and i think they will be better in snow and ice.
