Just put some Pilots on my NSX in the stock 16/17 sizes. Thought I would try something different this time...Very nice tire. I would say there is a small, but noticeable difference in ride comfort and a reduction in road noise. Grip in the corners appears to be even with the Yoko's..The tradeoff (as nsxtacy and others have stated)is in the "sharpness" of the steering. You definitely notice that the sidewall has a little more give to it. Consequently, the car is less "darty" but still very responsive. Make no mistake, the car has a different feel without the Yoko's on....Not sure yet if I would go back to the Yoko's next time around..I any case, the Pilots are worth trying.
