Summer tires have more grip then the all/season stock tires on dry road hence the words summer tire. Its just a more performance oriented tire just better grip in the twistie's or putting the power down to the ground.

The summer tires are nice... ive taken corners 20-25mph over the suggested limit just fine, scared to push it over that though, not worth the risk hah

Keep in mind they will not last as long as the stock tires. In addition, they are a little wider than the stock Michellins.

they are NOT wider! they only appear to be wider. This is because the contact patch is larger thus a wider look. they are the same size. 215-45-17
