Ok, gonna just go ahead and admit it now. I'm running the OEM BT54 tires on my '13. Go ahead and start telling me about safety in 1...2...3...
Now that that's over, I've been reading this whole long hairy thread.
My tires are still in fine shape and have plenty of tread. 99% of my commute is on a straight freeway to get to and from work. I don't have time to go have fun in the twisties anywhere near me. So, I haven't really worried about getting new tires. But, once I get some money saved up mid-year, I'd like to replace them for peace of mind.
My priority is mileage. Straight line mileage. Handling isn't a main priority. The Michelin PR3 is no more, and there are a few other viable alternatives. Looking at reviews of the Metzler Z8, looks like a good contender. Pirelli Sport Demons don't look like have a ton of mileage. I could replace the BT54s as well, I guess.
Will be looking for a solution with this priority down the road.
