More ys spend better the tire but Pirelli Michelin Pirelli are all usually top rated FWIW. Does not mean other tires are less than good tires but nice to get a ride tire warrantee in case ya dont like em ya got 30 days.

most recent Consumer Reports has Continental #1 followed closely by Pirelli and Michelin. any of those should be good but there are lesser known brands that are also worth a look

My mind seems to be made up, Michelin Pilot sport A/S 3+'s, not Premiers (my wife has them and I'm not liking them), but I am probably 50k+ away. When I bought my car used, it had new Rydanz Roadster 02's. I've driven them about 7k, and they are good/fine in rain, sun, highway, city, etc. Made in China, engineered in Europe they say.

Go to http://www.discounttiredirect.com! I simply cannot state how great they are to do business with.
They have absolutely top notch customer service!
You pay ZERO for shipping to anywhere!
They very frequently have rebates or Visa gift cards as purchase incentive!
They offer "Certificate for Free Replacement" (similar to road hazard, but much better coverage with less cost!) optional for purchase! For example, a certificate on the HIGHLY RATED $160 Cooper CS5 Ultra-Touring 245/45/18 tire is $20. If you purchase the certificate, they'll send you a new tire for free if ANYTHING happens to the tire, INCLUDING blowout, vandalism, sidewall bubble, unrepairable nail penetration, drunk and hit curb, etc!!! ANYTHING... (except misalignment)
I cannot push these guys hard enough. I've purchased tires from these guys at least 5 times for various vehicles.
I will NEVER EVER buy tires from anywhere else. It takes A LOT to make me absolutely 100% satisfied, and these guys consistently do it!!!!!!
End of plug.

my factory tires are Dunlop SP's, the spare in the trunk is original and almost never used (I see tiny pebbles in the tread, but the rim is mint and has grease markings from the factory).

I'm just not sure if I believe how Premiers are great when new, and great when worn, per Michelin. They start off with 2.5/32" less tread. I look at my LS and my wife's car, and her tires are much newer, but have a worn appearance. And little pieces of rubber maybe from the molding are all falling off. They're probably harmless, but I just don't like how it looks. I tried to ignore that Premiers start with 8.5/32 based on the warranty miles, but decided I can't ignore it. My buddy put 2 sets on his Navigator, and a 3rd set on his wife's Q5, and said he never really noticed the above until I mentioned it. But he did push his first set on the Navi 70k.
My Rydanz look new, and I put almost 8k on them already....prolly gonna have them years...

OP never checked back, so I wonder what he chose. FWIW, I just ordered a set of the Pirelli Cinturato P7s. I just didn't feel like spending double for a slightly better tire with the Michelin. 98/each from simpletire.com
