Hi Everyone,

Need to replace the tires on my 2015 GS 350 F Sport and I will likely go with 4 new Michelins. Any recommendation on MXM4 vs Pilot Sport 4S? Or do you recommend sticking with the Potenzas?

Also, anything else I should watch out for when doing this?

Thanks!

These are two completely different category of tires (MXM4 = all-season touring tires vice MPS4S = top-rated high performance summer tires) so you would need to ask yourself what are your driving habits, city conditions, and intentions are with your GS350 F-Sport. Do you live in an area with inclement weather? Do you enjoy taking your car on canyon drives in CA? Both?

If cold weather conditions forces you to purchase all-season tires but you still want some performance capabilities with your tires, you can compromise by getting a set of Michelin Pilot Sport AS3 Plus tires. If you're looking to get summer tires but hardly push your car to the limits, the MPS4S tires might be overkill for you.

Thanks for the helpful insights redspencer. Much appreaciated.

I live on the north side of San Diego with lots of windy roads and have a pretty heavy foot, so went with the MPS4S tires.

I live in sf, so I went with mps4s since its superior on hot and rainy days.
