I would make sure you get them from someplace with a 30 day ride guarantee. I have read several reviews and there are several threads on here from people who bought them and weren't happy with noise. If you read the reviews they aren't as strong as the Pirellis, and in TireRacks tests they rated the Pirellis as better riding and quieter. TireRack and TreadDepot both as well as my independent tire dealer told me that they had a fair number of people who return the Premier because of noise and they recommended I get the Pirelli.

I'm a Michelin guy and had they come in the right size I might have gotten them, but I don't want to mess with a noN OEM size, 100% happy with the Pirelli.

Thanks sw15LS i really appreciate your help

No problem. I just did exhaustive research into tires and read a ton, watched a ton of reviews (TireRack has video reviews on YouTube) and I'm entirely confident that these Pirellis are the smoothest, quietest touring tires you can currently buy. The Premier has the edge in wet traction, but these also have great marks in snow traction.

I went with the Conti DWS 06 on my GS and have been happy with them so far. I had a set of DWS on a previous car and really liked them.

Another vote for the DWS06. This is a great tire, especially if you have an Fsport and need one thats all season.

I have the Conti DWS 06 on my GS, very nice tire, got a great deal on them on Tirebuyer. For a RWD car these can't be beat for the price if you want long life, good handling, and some decent snow capability.

I'm rolling with the all-season Conti PureContact w/EcoPlus tires after getting 30K on original Dunlops. Not an issue.

Here is a link to the tirerack review video of the top tires discussed in this thread. I am a Continental fan, but must admit that the reviews and mileage guarantee on the Pirelli's is making me do additional evalutation. As I expected the higher mileage against the Continentals does give a little in the wet traction department (based on the review).

Have a watch and decide based on your driving conditions and needs. I did like the part about the Pirelli's smoothing out the ride and adding to the comfort(around 2:45 into the video).
