stock EX tire vs stock Si tire

[liuh]

difference in quality? EX tires are terrible in the rain, i don't want to fear for my life everytime it's wet outside.

thinking of getting some Si rims (best 17"s i can afford), if the tires are better.

If not, i'll just hope i live long enough to be able to get some real rims/tires.

To be honest, some people said that SI tires (Michelin Pilot HX MXM4) sucks in the rain and other wet conditions.. Well, I previously used a stock EX tires (Bridgestone Turanza EL400-02) with stock ex rims before i switched in into SI rims. Compared to Turanza, the pilot has more grip in wet and dry condition (If you put the throttle down while it was raining; the turanza spins out like crazy w/ minuscule grip.. However the michelin, still acceptably grabs the road).. Its pretty much subjective imo. If you want to compare those two tires, just go to www.tirerack.com ;they provides you with the technical and the review of every tires in the market.
