Default Yokohama, Pirelli and Michelin

I've been reading a lot of reviews on these and seem to have almost the same feedback, they're all good. I've been a Michelin user for years and I wanted to venture out something similar or better. If any members here can share their experiene with any of these on their RX and what tire model it is, it would be a great. I still might go with michelin but if the price is right, migh get the Pirelli or Yokohama.

BTW, Bridgestone sucks.

check out the yokohama yk580, they are surprisingly excellent. i bought them for my other cars and had great results for ride noise/comfort and wear

Happy, I was looking at the same tires six months ago. I wound up going with the Pirelli Scorpion Verdes. Here is the thread I posted. I had some reservations with the Yokohamas and Michelins, namely mileage. The Pirellis just stood out in all areas. I notice they're still on top of the list of recommended tires. Price wise, they're cheaper than the Michelins but considerably more than the Yokohamas. Good luck with your decision.
