I wonder if the model ordered has something to do with what tires are fitted.

Those responding to this thread should also include whether they have a MCS or MC.

I spoke to Alex at Tirerack and he gave the insight about this tire and I am leaning towards it, I have used the Dunlop 5000 twice and now the Goodyear NCT 5 with 26k and still strong, the NCT 5 is far better in noise reduction and comfort driving though the Dunlop is far better in dry and water conditions. The price quote I got was $208 for 16" Rims which I have are OZ Superleggeras dont know what to do but he reccomended me with the Pirreli PZero Nero which is a very good tire but not RUNFLAT, 5 years and 86k of runflats and I am SPOILED and dont want to take chances I have heard of this product by the name SLIME but he doesnot reccomend it ANYONE out there used this SLIME!!!!! help me please

I forgot about this thread...

I got the Continentals, which are all-season (M+S marking).

Europe does have all season tires, but they're not common. Most people swap summer/winter sets for each particular season.
