On my winters I roll on Dunlop winter sport SP for the V speed rating. And on my rims I roll on Nitto Invo's UHPST!

So basically this thread was to see what you like about your tires.....the good and the bad....

Bridgestone 760 Sports.....suck in the rain and have NOOOO tread life!

Michelin ASPlus have awesome grip rain or shine and I can actually take a freakin corner unlike the 760's. Plus I can expect 40-45k out of them.

This is an Ultra High Performance All-Season tire. Taking curves is so much better, handling in the rain is unbelievable and steering response is far better imo. What is your IS rockin and why do you love/hate them!
Yup.

Bought my IS250 AWD last June and the same day threw in the 18" G-Spiders with the Michelin PS AS+, too.

Just moved to Nebraska (from OR) in February and they are terrific in the snow as well as during the summer!

Gotta love that warranty, also!

PS...the new Michelin Super Sports (the PS2 replacement) just got released to the public two weeks ago They are OEM on the Ferrari 599GTO and the 458 Italia. And...get this...they come with a treadwear warranty. I'm not even ******in' ya....

Those with the Hankook Ventus V12's, do you have any noticeable road noise from the front?
I find that that Hankooks are much quieter than the stock tires. They hook, ride, and handle better too. You can't beat them in the bang for buck category.

Just ordered 4 - general altimax hp - They seem extremely reasonable for an all-season with a 50k warranty.... I have the AWD and am not performance driven.... the reviews said they're quiet, long lasting, and good in winter... I was sold

Im so torn between V12's and the Bridgestone Re760's. I got 33k out of my stock ER33's unlike everyone else, and I really liked the ER33's.. so trying to find something comparable

re760s...would be switching to general exclaim uhps but guess they're discontinuing them, those are grippy tires for the price and last a good while to boot.

I have Michelin Pilot Sport Plus 18's. They are great in the rain and on dry roads. They grip well overall and have excellent treadwear .
