I'm having a heck of a time trying to find front and back tires for this car that are matching. It seems there are only a few manufactures that make the same model tires for front and back. Whats everyone doing for tires on the f sports? I'm not real excited about putting the Bridgstones back on it.

Did you check Discount Tire or https://www.tirerack.com ? Lots of choices.

You have a few choices with Continental, Dunlop or Michelin.
I'll be going with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S when my crappy and loud Dunlop wears out.
My car is 2015 F Sport as well, only 25K miles.

Best deal with a 45k mi warranty was Goodyear's for me - F1 Asemetrics. Paid about $1,100 after everything was said and done. Zero issues. Have that nice rim saver too...

I'm partial to the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus based on the reviews I've read here and elsewhere. Here's an example:

The dealer put on 3 new Bridgestone Turanza EL400-02 tires as part of the CPO deal for my 2015 GS 350 F Sport AWD. I'm not thrilled with them, they are harsh and noisy. But I'm going to see how they do this winter before I decide I need to replace them. I'd like to get at least 3 years out of them. I'm also considering getting a separate set of rims with snow tires, that was the standard procedure on my BMW.

Not only are the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus tires an excellent top shelf choice, but they come with an Unlimited Time / 70,000 Miles Warranty with Half Mileage for Rear if Different Size than Front. I have been extremely pleased with mine...

What's "half mileage"?

Longevite1

If the car staggered, the tires mileage warranty cut by a half, I know Michelin said that on their warranty.

bclexus

Half the 70,000 mile warranty for the rear tires if they are a different size than the front, therefore 35,000 mile warranty for the rear tires.

Why? Not rotatable?

bclexus

I'm not sure why you don't seem to understand. Of course, because the tires cannot be rotated. We are talking about the F-Sport that has staggered tires with larger rear tires compared to the front tires, therefore by that nature they cannot be rotated.

Because the rear tires are likely to wear out before the front tires with a staggered tire setup Pirelli (and other tire makers such as Michelin) provides half the warranty mileage (given to the front tires) for the rear tires.

Thx for the responses. Since the fronts require an XL load rating it starts limiting choices quickly. I'll look into the Pirrelli. I have 29k on the car and the tires are getting bald. Is it normal to go through tires every 25k.

What? Premature tire wear from normal driving is abnormal or early tire wear and is covered by the mileage warranty...
