I don't know.  I wish I *was* out driving.  I finally got the pirelli
p600s on yesterday, and I can't believe the difference.  Could be my
imagination, but the engine seems to be running more happily.  Not to
mention braking, turning, and response.  A much smoother ride, even
while giving a better sense of the road surface...and the last week has
been about perfect MG weather in KC, mostly sunny and low 70s!  I've
been driving, top down, as much as I can.  Lots of errands run...:-) 
Now, I'll try to be out more before the rains hit this weekend...

  Of course, I'm confused as to what to do about the higher psi
specified on the tires, as opposed to the MG manual reference for the
original tires.  There's quite a diff between the 22-24 lbs in the
manual and the 45 max of the new tires.  My guess is that the sensible
thing is to stay within the low end of the tire manufacturer's range,
but then again I'm obviously not confident enough to not ask on the
list, eh.
