Well, it depends on whether or not you want all season tires or summer Tires. The benefit is that the all season will get you much better traction in wet and winter weather as well as they will likely be much less expensive to replace and probably last longer than the Pilot Sport michelins.
The truth is that virtually no one in the United States will have an opportunity to push this car to 170 miles per hour. Most of us will tip 120 miles per hour at best when we are running late for work or showing off for a buddy who's in the passenger seat crapping his pants!

The other thing is that totally non-negotiable is that I don't want to pay a full new car price on a car with 100 miles on it, used as a demo. I know how people drive cars on "test drives" and I don't want any part of one of those cars. I keep my cars for many years and over 100,000 miles and I want to break them in according to my biases. And I should be able to get the color I want on a $50,000 car. Is that too much to ask? Do you understand why every car I've ever owned has been a factory custom order? I've never bought a car off the lot on an emotional trip in my life, which is also why I hate high pressure sales. I do my research, figure out exactly what I want, and order it to spec. Obviously I can't do that with Kia. If the rep doesn't come up with something tomorrow, I'll ask for my "non-refundable" deposit back and keep driving my faithful G8 for another year or two. I don't "need" a new car yet, I just liked the Stinger.
