I have a set of 16" with pilot sport tires, I will use them next time

I have no way of testing the car now since there's no snow here in the bay area. But I'm glad that "feeling the pulsations through the pedal is normal for ABS". I think my ABS is working then. The tires are actually better than the SP40 A/S, I don't see the model on the DUNLOP site, may be it's discontinued. The ex-owner paid $160 a piece for it last year.

Thanks again,

Careful.

A regular Pilot Sport is a summer performance tire. This means that a low temperatures in the snow, it will have all the traction of a hockey puck.

A Pilot Sport All-Season is a very different animal from a regular Pilot Sport.
