Huh? What "bald tire" bit?

Bull****! I have flown the SR22 and I thought it handled quite
nicely. I question the piloting skills of anyone who would say
something as inane about it as the bald tire bit listed below. It
wasn't any harder to fly than a Piper Archer II.

I haven't flown a Cirrus, ;( , so I can't speak to the flying
characteristics. But the flight characteristics offered by "Toly":

"but in the air the plane is very slippery and feels like it's skating
on
ice, only in three dimensions"

sounds like a recipe for disaster, especially for a pilot that is rusty.
One
of the things I really like about my TR182 is that it like flying a
rock.
Yes, it is boring, and I have thought lately about trading it in for a
fun
airplane like a Maule or Citabria - but, in it's defense, when I haven't
flown for a while it is incredibly forgiving of imperfect piloting.

There's been some discussion here about Cirrus' less-than-stellar
safety
record. snip
