I think they changed over some time around Aug 2007. I remember not knowing which one I would end up with on my early Sept 2007 build but got the new style.

Thanks

I got Pirelli Euforias at Discount Tire. $1,100 for four with road hazard certificate. Better ride and less noise than the original Dunlops. Put over 8,000 miles on them in less than a month in all conditions, including a lot of rain and some snow. Hit a pothole at 70 MPH and put a bubble in the front left tire. A local Discount Tire dealer replaced it without problems. I'm a happy customer.
