Planning to replace the factory good years on my 11th gen in a couple thousand miles as the grip and the road noise is getting very annoying, and I'm deciding between these two tires. The vast majority of my driving is just highway commuting so I really value a quiet comfortable tire. I sometimes go canyoning and plan to get into autocross soon.

I've read in different forum posts that the Pirellis are the best of the best for road noise and NVH, but that the DWS is also pretty good in that aspect. How is the grip performance of the Pirellis? If it's mostly on par with the DWS I would probably lean towards the Pirelli.

Just want to get some input from different users. Thanks

Edit: I believe it was the Pirelli Pzero AS+3 to be exact

Hi everybody, I currently am an engineer who is entertaining the idea of switching into medicine. I've always had the doctor career path in the back of my head but never thought I could do all the years of schooling for it, but I had an epiphone last week that this might be for me. The premed/medschool info and possible paths are still new to me, so please correct anything I get wrong in this post..

I plan to take the summer to shadow doctors of different specialties to see what my interests are and to take time to make a decision if I want to commit or not. I'm thinking of starting the premed classes at a community college in fall of 2026.

As for prereqs, the classes I see such as phsyics, gen chem, organic chem, etc are necessary to apply to med school, right? They aren't just recommendations to take to prepare for the MCAT, correct?

I did intro to bio, physics 1 & 2(calc based), and gen chem 1 in my undergrad during 2018-2021. Looks like I just need gen chem 2, organic chem 1 & 2, and maybe microbio? If I were to take gen chem 2 in fall, that would mean I would finish ochem 2 by fall of 2027 which would leave me to applying for the fall 2028 start date of medschool.. A faster route would be to take gen chem 2 in summer, then the organic chems in Fall/Spring while taking the MCAT in Spring of 2027 to try to get into the Fall 2027 of medschool. Would I be delusional to think I can do all this while working full time and maintaining a normal life?

Mainly looking to for sanity checks, and discussion surrounding postbaac premed. Any input is appreciated!

Edit: I had a 3.55 GPA in undergrad. Does this affect me beyond just getting into med school? Would this affect what specialty I land in, or is the specialty based off of medschool gpa and other factors?

My friends and I are planning to go to Yosemite from May 23-25th. I see on the official yosemite lodging site that all of them are booked. So I'm looking at booking in bug rustic now and hope to take highway 140 up to yosemite valley to start our hike.

I keep seeing road closures on the 140. Now I'm not sure if bug rustic will be viable because we would have to take the long way around via highway 49..

Are these road closures snow/rain related rock slides? Is the 140 consistently closed in the summer months as well?

Are there any better lodging options? I guess worst case we drive up the 49.. but man, 2 hours seems ridiculous.

Thanks
