You haven't proven anything. No expert anywhere would argue that the MXV4 is a performance tire. It's not sold, nor advertised as one. For the purpose its built for, its the best at what it does.
And, BTW, my boyfriend is not just some "tire salesman" who talked to a couple of Civic owners. As I said before, go look at the website if you want a taste of the wide range of car lovers that they service. They are, hands down, THE performance tire and wheel specialists in Atlanta. And in my opinion, talking face-to-face with customers for 36 years is enough experience in my book to listen to.
My boyfriend wants to continue about this but I am tired of it... if you really want to argue the point with him, he told me to tell you it has terrible road force measurements, consistently requires more weight to balance than a michelin, is not built to as high a tolerance as a michelin, etc, etc.....
you boys, always needing to be right about crap...
