Default You must be kidding, I can't get off my Pilot Alpins quick enough

on both my awd Talon and S4 to change back to my summer tires (Pilot Sports, Talon; RE040's, S4). The Alpin's handling is far below that of a summer or even performance all-season tire: far too many sipes, and the tread blocks are too high. Having said that, they're much better in the dry than snow tires (such as Blizzaks).
