What type of driving does your mom do? I ask because these are Maximum performance Summer tires and may be way more then your mom needs, plus they wont last long. (EXample they have a tread wear of 220, very soft and girppy but will only last in the sub 20,000 mile range.)

May I suggest looking at something in the High Performance all season? they would last longer and your mom probably wouldnt ever know the difference. like Continental ContiExtremeContact or Michelin Pilot Sport A/S?

Haha, mom doesnt drive it hard, BUT I DO

I looked and talked to thme about the A/S and decided I'd rather have the PS2. Technically, Micheline has not released the PS2's yet and will not be available untill March, but they released some by accident or something and im having them shipped from Nevada. I had the manager at Discount Tire track some down in my size I needed.

He said I could probably get about the same amount of mileage out of the PS2's as I could the stock Dunlop's we have on it now (which current have 28k with about 4/32 tread left).\

My step-dad wanted Pirelli's but I am not a fan, paying too much for just the same, I like Michelin. I just kinda took over ordering the tires and dealing with that so I got what I wanted and step-dad said sure. Mom has no clue about tires or cars, lol.
