FYI: tirerack has pirelli allroad tires
Just discovered this while I was poking around thier site...
you need to search by tire size 225/55-17 (they don't list the allroad under tire-make/model search?)
they are near the bottom of the listings (#20) listed at $148 each and in stock.
this is just an information point, I've wondered what I would do about a tire if I destroyed one.
up till now I hadn't found anyone that had them, short of the dealer and they don't stock them, and there are problems mixing tires types/brands on an all wheel drive cars... (a lot of shops will refuse to sell you a tire if it isn't an exact match) this doesn't help me directly because I've got goodyears on mine but thought you guys would like to know.

Mark, check out...
the Michelin Pilot XGT Z4s on tire rack. I had a set of these on an old Saab and loved them. Fantastic M+S all season tire that'll last a lot longer than the Pirelli allroads.

Re: Mark, check out...
Thank you too AeroSmith.
I can't believe I only got 17,000 mile out of the tires my allroad came with. I could use something that lasts a lot longer. I hope they give good traction.
Appreciate your help.

My OEM tires are now for sale!
My summer tires are going on the allroad on Wednesday, 4/4, so I will have my set of four Goodyear OEM allroad tires available. As I posted previously, these were taken off of my car two weeks after delivery last January when I put on my Michelin winter tires. Thus, they have around 200 miles on them. I'd like to a minimum of $75 per tire, or best offer, plus shipping from Des Moines. Please email me off line if you would like me to investigate what your shipping costs would be. Again, these are nearly new Goodyear allroads, in the 225/45/17 OEM size, at half the price of new. First come, first served!

I bought a set of Pirelli P6000. (more)
Not the newest design, but it is a true summer tire with supposedly good wet weather characteristics. Choices were limited in the OEM size, and I got these for $170 each. I've only put about 50 miles on them so far, but I have found nothing negative about them. Note: the 6000 SV is a similar tire in an all-season design; I would suspect it is close to the OEM Pirelli "allroad" tire.
