Default Pilot Powers Deals?

Anyone know of any deals for the Pilot Powers? Look to replace my crappy Conti's with some Michelin's.

Their not sticky enough for me, plus their already worn down pretty well. Their starting to feel really greasy, which I'm not comfy with.

Pures suck, not just bad, but really bad. Get the Power One's, K3's or Q2's if you want a nice sticky tire.

I would get the power ones and missed out on the q2 special, but most times I will get caught in the rain where in the past can still get moderately agressive with the pilot powers. I'm thinking that it's one of those things where I know how they perform in and out. I've heard to many back and forth reviews with the pures where it will make me stay away. The power ones are very tempting though just would hate to get caught in the rain with them.

I've heard K3's are decent in the rain, but I don't ride in the wet so I don't know first hand. If you do ride lot's of wet roads the Pilot Powers are one of the better choices in sport tires.

I personally don't like to ride in the rain and try to avoid it when I can, but **** happens.
