Message	They were being abused, but this happened WAY too easily. 2 minutes of abuse: I also really didn't like how soft the sidewalls are, I always found myself bumping up the PSI more and more to get a good responsive feel. I absolutely love my Michelin Pilot Super Sports, I have them in 275/35r18... You could go 245 for the fronts.
