Red face Best Tire for 2004 LS430???

With 17K on my 2004 LS Im in the need of replacement tires for my original Dunlops.
Looked up past thread's and these came up as choices:
Toyo Proxies TPT
Yokahama Avid H4S
Yokahama AVS db S2
Michellin Pilot Sport A/S
Michellin MXV4

Brandon from 'Tire Rack' says people with the Bridgestone Turanza line seem to like them.
I did look up reviews of the Turanza LS-V. There were a few people with 2004 LS's who seemed to like them and some with older LS's who didn't.
So how about it people? What tire do you like??

I don't know why but when I did a search on ''Tires' I didn't come up with the thread that was started a couple of days ago about the same question I had. Sorry all.

There is no such thing as a best tyre. The best tire depends on driving conditions, driving style, and budget. If in doubt, go with the OEM.

Driving style and ride comfort preference guide your selection.
I have a 2004 LS 430 w/EuroTuned Suspension and
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 245/45-18 on the 18x7.5 Factory Wheels

Handling and stopping are fantastic. Wet performance is superb.
Ride is firmer (think BMW), but you feel totally connected to the road.

If you want a more luxurious ride, the Bridgestones are the ticket.

All of a sudden on this Forum I see "sponsor links." Is this added or is there just a bunch of spammers posting here with their own commercials? If I saw advice from anyone with their own link, I definitely wouldn't believe that advice. I love Michelins and have owned many caars over many years and they have proven themselves to me as long life tires! Hmm, if a spammer link shows up in this post, I guess I have my answer.

Yep, I found out. When I typed "cars" a sponsor link showed up. I thne changed it to caars and it went away. At least now I know., for whatever that's worth.

FWIW, the Turanza ER33 in 225/55/17 that were on my 2003 LS when I bought it were amazing in terms of ride quality and low road noise -- amazingly smooth and dead silent. I've never been in a quieter or smoother riding LS. Handling feel was okay too, but keep in mind that I'm in Florida where there are no curves.

I have 18 inch Pirreli Pzero Neros on my GS, and they are almost as smooth and comfortable as my stock 16s with Goodyears.
