New tires

My car came with A/S Pirellis, I'm looking forward to replacing them with summer performance tires. Has anyone done this and how has the handling been improved?

John,
I'm not sure how serious you are at this point.

You asked in another post if the obviously vinyl upholstery is leather, and the obvious answer is No, it is vinyl.

Now you ask the obvious question of "Will summer tires handle better than AS?"

And the equally obvious question is "Of course"

Braking, turn in, wheel spin, ride quality, hell - even your golf game will improve.

Obviously, I know it will handle better I was just wondering if anyone has done it and how dramatic was the difference. As far as the leather question, if the window sticker reads" Nevada Leather" without any disclaimer about seats only, why not? My previous BMW's also read leather and were leather all around. BTW, can't wait, new tires and improved golf game...... If only they can grow hair.
