I’ve heard a lot of Pirelli hate on here. Can you tell me why?

From my personal experience, I've had Pirellis on two cars in my life. They had no grip (same with Contitracs) and they were super loud. Way too much tire noise. I've switched them out with Michelin each time and was very happy.

I’m actually very surprised to here dealers have swapped equipment on new vehicles, especially with leased cars as the equipment is suppose to match the build of the VIN. I can see tires, but that’s the extent of it.

The case is closed I guess.

Yeah, I think this is dealer dependent......I think normally most won't switch so it's nice to see a lot of your guys' dealers did.
