I wouldn't go anywhere near Michelin's. Overrated and underperforming on these cars. In all my research, I couldn't get past the Continental Extreme Contact DWS06. Went for it and couldn't be happier. Super quiet tires, great handling in wet/dry conditions (also live in FL, Tampa Bay). I've never been one to look at or care about the warranties because I got burned a long time ago and found that you have to fight tooth and nail to get tire companies to cover tires under warranty. I've got about 10k miles on the tires now, and again, I couldn't speak more highly of them. I had an older version of these on a Honda Accord I had a while back and they performed great for 53k miles. Rotate every 5k miles and you're good to go. I would also check with your local Lexus dealer because when I was in for a recall, my service advisor explained that they will price match any tire company and provide a warranty in house at the dealer. That alone gave me peace of mind, along with proper road force balancing and a proper alignment which most tire companies (Costco and Sam's included) can't do because they don't have the equipment.

To update my Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All Season tires, I couldn't be happier with them. The new base Vetts come with them which concerned me after ordering them but after driving on them now for about 1k miles they are noticeably quiet and smooth riding. And at $922 installed before Costco's credit card discount and 45000 mile warranty, tough to beat. Check 'em out.

If you've ever owned a Vette, you'd know that the tires they come with are generally on the aggressive side with little regard for noise and smoothness. Also, if you read my comments, I mentioned that they only come with the base Vette, and not the much higher horsepower supercharged LT1 and LT4 models which I found out after researching them, and set my mind at ease. Anyway, I think you're missing the point of my post which is to help Forum members with their tire purchasing.

I would assume if comfort was the main concern you would buy something from their grand touring lineup.
