Definitely go with a set of the “new “
Michelin A/S Pilot 4 tires.

I just replaced my 6 years old
A/S Pilot 3+ with the new 4and these new replacements
are even quieter, has better tread Warrenty
(45K vs 30K ) than the 3+ and cornering is probably as good
if not better than the old 3+

Just make sure you tell your tires store when doing
an alignment to take all the Negative Camber out
to avoid the wear on the inner tire the SC 430 is famous
for. Now on to my Rim guy to take out my recent
curb rash

Costco mistakenly installed the pilot 4’s. 900 miles later they swapped them for the ones in my signature.

even better drive.

Definitely go with a 45 vs a 40. Michelin makes great tires some of them are a little bit overrated. I personally went with the Pirelli P7 Plus as the tread wear rating is among the best - 70k miles.

Wow a 70K rating. How many miles do you drive a year? @ 10K, that would be 7 years! Good deal.

Yeah, it is very good. Realistically when it comes tread they rarely last as long they claim. I will be happy to get 50k out of this set.

Based on my experience with Yokohama, I would give their new ADVAN APEX line a try...

They are $400 cheaper, but they aren't rated to last as long
