Plus one on the P7 Plus. After much research, and the advice from board members, i bought the P7's and I agree with what everyone here has to say about them. I had the OEM Michellin tires on the vehicle when i purchased it, but i only drove on them for about 10 days before swapping them out. The Michellin's felt a little choppy, but i really cant provide any useful comments about them because i only had them on the car for such a short time.
Ive put about 1000 miles on the P7's so far and they're a solid tire. I still dont know how hard i can push this behemoth of of a car since my previous car was a 2-door audi, and i would push that to its limits, even in the rain.

They have been great. haven't slipped out on me once. I took them off for dedicated winters a few weeks ago.

I actually prefer them over the MXM4 michelins. They ride quieter, handling is very similar, lots of grip, great in wet or dry. And to boot, they cost 2/3 of what the michelins were going for. I would actually consider it a better tire, even if the price were the same.

Good to hear. This probably will be the one when my MXM4 approaches the end of the life. I put Pirelli P7 All season plus on my father's 96 Acura RL recently. I will pick one between P7 All season + and DWS 06.

I just bought some Good Year LS2 tires for my wife's GS350 for her winter set (on sale) and have been pleased with them. We were not happy with the factory Michelins as they started to dry rot after 3 years. If I remember right I paid around $470 for all 4 tires installed and also got a $70 + another $40 rebate through discount tire. Not bad!
