As much crap as I give the P7 for not being a great handling tire, I've come to realize that the initial break in period to scrub off the curing agent seemed to last longer and be slipperier than most new tires I've used. They're no Michellin or Pirelli Summer Tire, but they do come in very nicely after that initial period. The more miles I scrub on them, the better they've become. As much as I've come around on the P7s, I'm switching to a set of Pilot Super Sports the second they cure my vibrating steering. Don't want the non-factory tires to be a place they point to as the cause.
