Need tire recommendations

I'm getting ready to replace the original stock tires on my CL-S and will be grateful for your recommendations. I drive about 10K miles per year. Thanks!

If you're looking for a great 3 seasons tires with good treadwear, load rating, and excellent handling, as well as lighter than our stock tires, then you should consider the Toyos T1-S 235/45/17. I have them, and have not regretted purchasing them! They do fit on the stock 17 x 7 rims.

After 43,000 miles on the OEM tires, I just put on a set of the Toyo T1-S's on the stock rim. Just for the record, I went with the stock tire size too.

My vote is for the S-O3's. Excellent wet and dry grip. Better cornering that stock. For the record I have 235/45/17 they fit the stock rims fine and have only like a .5%-1% speedo inacuracy

i just had the dunlop sp9000 put on last week. i orginally wanted the toyo t1-s, but what happened is a really long story. let's just say i was stuck deciding between the dunlops and p-zeros. i never thought of considering the dunlops, but surprisingly, i'm not dissapointed with them. actually, i would say i'm rather impressed with how quiet they are. my car rides so much smoother with these tires than the pirelli p7000 supersports. DON'T get the pirelli's... they get so noisy after 10k. so if you're looking for a tire that's an alternative to the usual tires that other people get, try considering the dunlops. they've been really good in the dry so far, haven't had a chance to try them in the wet yet though. and if you want a really quiet and smooth ride, these tires will give you just that
