WTF? My Stock Tires Suck!

Hey all I'm a little confused right now, I got my 2006 LT from Rockland County Chevrolet in Rockland County,NY back in November and my car came with Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus tires, 205/55/16, (Sport Package) but ALL the 06 Cobalt's I see runnign around down here in FL and when I went back home to NY had Pirelli P6's on them. WTF? The Michelins suck and cost $140 each to replace when the Pirelli's are rated WAY better on Tirerack and cost like 40 less. I just wnted to make sure my car isnt an oddity,lol, cuz my traction sux. Whats going on? lol

that's what my car had on it... worst tires ever mounted to a wheel. The purchasing guy from GM that ok'd these tires needs to have a Sicilian hitman sent to his house.

Yeah man, I had those Michelins on my Honda and I hated them. The Pirellis are actually pretty sticky but I do not see them lasting too long.

actually, any tire that a car comes with, no matter what sucks *****.
a tire that my company puts on a car, and one that the factory puts on...same tire.
my company's tire will last much longer. Its like they give the factory seconds.
its weird, but true.
