Default cross/repost: S4 tire replacement dilemma

Ok so heres my issue:
currently running all season Pirelli p7000's on stock Avus rims. Just discovered bubble on one and tear in another. 2 tires definitely shot. The other two have about 50% wear.
Do i replace with 2 new p7000's or do i try the Michellin Pilot all seasons all around? (I'm in PA, want to stick w all seasons) Anyone have experience with Michellins? I really feel like an idiot chucking all 4 tires cause i killed two of them - anyone have some p7000's they want to part with?

thanks

Default

if you have a sedan, use the spare and buy one all season Pirelli replacement.

Default You're a little early......

i was planning on getting rid of my P7000 SS tires in about 2 months when the weather gets nice enough for me to buy some max performace summer tires.

Default Put Michelin's in all around...

You'll be kicking yourself if you stick with the P7000's...either they will get really noisy (if they aren't already), or you'll bubble another tire, and you'll then wish you switched to something else.

Two blown tires at this stage is an opportunity.

Default I would go with the Michelins maybe you could sell your two good tires..

Someone recently posted that they were looking for some used tires...

Default I tossed 4 Bridgestones (less than 8k miles) for Michelin Pilot Sports. Can't go wrong with

Michelin, IMHO, especially the all seasons.
