I was at the dealer today, drove by a semi they were unloading. The new GS350's had MIchelin tires on them. Does anyone know what type of Michelin it is?

beautiful, were they 18 inch 5 spoke wheels? I hope my GS comes with michelins.

I took delivery a couple days before Christmas...I think...

They are Y rated:

So you can only go up to 186 mph...not over.

I have a gs350 with dunlop tires 225/50/17 and I'am getting excessive tire noise. Dealer has rotated tires, checked wheel bearings. Dealer said awd vehicles have more tire noise. I've seen postive comments about michelins,
wondering if anyone has similiar issues with dunlop tires
Any advice welcome
Thanks

i have had lots of low profile tires from bridgestone, firestone, goodyear, etc and my michelin pilot sport 2's on my BMW were the smoothest riding quietest Y rated tire I've driven on.

you have the Dunlop 5000's Run flats? I had those, they came stock on my automobile. They were noisy as hell and I swapped them out. I made the dealer buy them back prorated and give me the PS2's that I wanted for a reduced price.

I am so very happy with them and they are better ride/feel/quietness/sturdyness......

Just better......

but, I think the installer might need to rebalance, they seem a little off...... as if they need rebalanced... hmm.

But yes the Dunlops are noisy and they just get worse... I had mine for about 7000 miles and I noticed myself having to talk louder in the car so my wife could hear me.

Get ride of them quick...

P.S Dealer Service Manager told me that I better bring it for the 5,000 mile check.....DISTANCE or TIME......
GEEZ...Admiring the ride so much that I forgot that I could drive it, but it just looks good sitting in the driveway during the day and garage it at night. Keeping it covered.
