[QUOTE="JAJ, post: 14764694, member: 131874"] In response to the OP's original question, the Goodyears are R-Comp tires (even the owner's manual says so) while the MPSS's are just high performance summer tires. If you go to a road-race track and blast around on a summer afternoon, the MPSS's get greasy fast and the GY's don't. Conversely, the MPSS's are pretty commonly used as wets by the track day crowd - I've seen Boss 302S's getting good lap times with them in the rain. If you're looking for alternatives to the GY's, you can get the new Pilot Sport Cup 2's in the right size for the front, and either NT-01's or R888's in the right size for the rear. I've driven my 2014 with mismatched front and rear R-comps (265/35x19 Pilot Sport Cup's up front, 275/40x18 NT01's at the rear) and the handling was fine. [/QUOTE]
