Tire Recommendations for 2001 CLS
I have the Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 (The std tires that Acura put on this model). I have 60,000 miles and I have a second tire that has developed a bubble on the sidewall. Seems like it happens quite often with these tires, after reading enough posts on other messageboards.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a similar tire, that might even be a little less harsh on the wallet? The Pilot's are about $175/tire on Tirerack.
Thanks for the help.

After spending quite a bit of time researching this topic, it seems that if you want an all around improvement in a 3 season tire, the Yokohama AVS-ES100 is about the best choice. The Sumitomo HTR+ seems to be about second best, though it has the advantage of being capable in the snow. It is also a bit cheaper but some have reported balance issues on +1 sizing.

I also put on the Sumitomo HTR+ in stock cl-s size about 2 months ago. They have been excellent so far. I have noticed that there are ALOT of balancing weights (actually I dont know what's considered 'normal' for the balancing weights) on one or two of the wheels (Park Ave Acura - NJ) but they didn't mention any problems/issues when they mounted them them. I have experimented a bit with the PSI. and found 36/37 about right. had them at 40 psi but seemed too harsh.
