Make it a double twin, 2 of each.

4 tires = 4 babies.

I also vote for Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires they are smooth on my 4GS and quiet way better than the Dunlops that were oem when i bought it. Just remember to inflate the michelins to tire presssure specs because i lowered the presssure on the primacy to squeeze out an even smoother ride but the opposite happend the ride was worst. So i put air back in and ride was smooth again.

I find it strange that the Dunlops roade better with less pressure than standard but same kind of thinking did not work well for Michelin.

Also congrats on babies.... they will forever change your life...i have two myself.

Also another thing to consider why dont you buy another set of rims and winter tires for your 4gs that way you dont have to return lease with new tires. Thats what i did for winter driving, was to get anothet wheel set for my GS.

Thanks!

Yeah I have the Michelins now, I run them about 31 and they ride great, not sure why yours rode worse with less pressure. I'm 100% happy with them, its just that the Pirellis have such great reviews and they're considerably cheaper. If it weren't a lease I'd probably get another set of Michelins...

LOL, you won't have to worry, after giving birth to twins its going to be a long time before she lets you touch her again.

You don't run snow tires there in the winter?

True enough LOL.

We don't get enough snow or cold weather here to make winter tires worthwhile. We have maybe 2 real snowstorms a year, and we have the Jeep, otherwise its very common to have temps in the 50s some and colder some.
