Looks good! I don't think it needs any lowering; the gaps are even all the way around. Can you adjust the height from settings?
I'm going to be accused of shilling for Michelin because I got a set of Pilot Sport AS 4s installed today and they are far superior to the Pirellis (which I admit were kind of petrified by age at 11 years old) and I am 'bragging' about them on the D3 board.

PS4 is my favorite tire . Had them on my BMW M3 and planning to replace OEM tires on my A6 when they get worn out . Although PS4 in not all weather tire , it is max performance summer tire.

Default PS4 question...

Are the Michelin PS4's all-season (New Englander/Boston area)?
If not, what would be the best all-season equivalent?

There are Pilot Sport 4 tires (PS4) and PS4 All Season. Also PS3, PS3+... Michelin keeping us confused. I happen to have the page on their site open, here ya go.

Thanks for the reply. My curiosity stems from the high praise the PS4's have received above in the thread. Should I expect any significant difference in the ride of the all-season versus the standard model, enough to matter?

Just because I am a stickler for the naming...
Pilot Sport 4 (PS4 or PS4S) Max Performance Summer
Pilot Sport All Season 4 (I never call this one PS4 as it leads to confusion) If anything PS A/S 4 would be better.
