Yeah it may just be my friend is never satisfied with anything. I actually would have had the Fuzions also if they were in stock when I was looking. I have only heard good things too, other than the one remark from that friend of mine.

JD...

I've got the same ride except a 2.8....do you know if the Michilen Pilot Sport come standard on mine as well?

I bought mine pre-owned a few months ago with a set of Dunlop Sport 8000. They're strictly a summer tire, and I'm betting they're gonna be pretty worn by October/November, so I should start thinking about a set of tires for the winter. I'm thinking a decent set of all-season tires is probably the best bet (Dunno if I can afford a different set of high-end tires).

Oh, and when I got my car for the dealership (pre-owned) it came with 16's....I guess the previous owner took off the 17's and put on 16's? (it has the sport package). Anyone got a pair of OEM 17's they want to sell cheap?? ;-)
