I picked up a HPB 1 LE in Miami. It ships on Monday
There is only 1 1le in the valley on order, and the dealer wanted a lot more money. We don't have a local track. We have some local AX's that go on. We have good roads, and am hoping for some quality time on windy mountain roads in the future. I am going to remove the tires and put a little more forgiving street tire and would like a recommendation. I have seen some drivers have put on Pilot 4s's on their cars, but have not seen a review? the stock tires I will save for AX's. Any thoughts?

These Goodyears are not the same ones you've heard about from the 5th Gen.

Pretty happy with them now. Welcome..

They are great tires, as long as its above 70 degrees outside. otherwise they stick like hockey pucks.
