Default Bridgestone Turanza Quiettrack

Hello first time posting, I need your advise for my 2006 Ls430 18' inch tires, I see that Costco is having a sale 150off when you purchase 4 tires or wait for Michelin to go on sale. Should I pull the trigger?

Thanks
NorlandoV

I have had michelin premiers which were pretty quiet, and very good in the rain.
Pilrelli P7+ are quieter but worse in the rain. I am currently running these and would recommend.
I might try the turanza for my next set if they make them in 16s. I have had loaner cars from lexus and the new cars come from the factory with turanza and they of course ride excellent. Might be worth a try. Make sure to report back if you do!

Just me, I would wait for Michelin (fanboy). I plan on getting the Pilot Sport AS3+. My mom got some flavor of Turanza on her Acura from Costco and they aren't very good tires per her. It used to have those fancy Conti DWS or something. My mom is not a demanding driver yet she seemed to feel the tires weren't good so totally subjective, I do recall when she said that I googled and whatever it was that she got had some negative feedback online....fyi

Funny I'm online currently on the Costco site looking at the tire deals. There running a special for Bridgestone's. Set of 4 Potenza's for 575 out the door after the instant rebate etc. But i'm leaning toward the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+. I will decide between now and Friday. Really want the Primacy but it's a bit more than I want to spend on a set of 4 right now.

That's what I'm planning on, because the opportunity to get tires comes once every 4-5 years. At the same time, my car came with Rydanz slapped on by the car dealership who sold it to me. They are $80 tires and have been great for the last 3+ years, in the wet, dry, everything except snow. So it really doesn't make that much difference--remember, this car has a .73g capability on the skidpad. That's like a 1970s American car.

Maybe the Rydanz are sticky who knows. I realized that at just over 20k they likely only have maybe 10k left. I've tracked it and I put over 20k on my snows and they show little wear or so it seems.
