Just got an alignment and some new shoes tonight. Went with Cooper RS3-A's and boy it feels like a new car. No comparison the the noisy no grip Potenza's. It actually responds when I move the steering wheel and it turn with not much effort. The Potenza's did last 60K miles to their credit but they were lousy miles. I had excessive inside corner tire wear on my Potenza's so I know part of the improvement in handling is the alignment alone. Also big ups to the alignment guy at Kimballs in Tacoma, WA., my steering wheel is straight now.
Now if I can get rid of that annoying rattle in the back, think its from under the trunk lid liner. Sorry for the long post but I'm a little giddy about my new tires, ha.

 

Michelin PSS....you'll never go back

 

True that^^^

 

Yup.

 

My Potenzas lasted 19K, they would leave rubber on the ground going around a slow corner.
