Tire Opinions
What do you guys think of these...
Goodyear Assurance Tripletred (#1 by Consumer Reports)
Yokahama Avid TRZ
Yokahama Avid H4S
Bridgestone HP50
Goodyear Eagle GT-HR
Goodyear Eagle LS
Michelin Agiligy Touring
BF Goodrich Traction T/A
Snow/ice is not an issue. Temperature is more of an issue. I want a quiet tire with excellent treadlife, atleast 60K mile warranty.
I like the Tripletred's, but they're a little expensive. I've got a lot of trust in CR, my Falken 512's on my RSX were great tires. I'm not worried so much about performance, rather treadlife, handling in the rain, and if they are quiet. An aggressive looking tire would be nice as well.
Any suggestions are welcome...
Thanks,

I'm running BFG Traction T/As. Great tire, excellent grip, and not as noisy as some reviewers wrote. I'm running them on stock TL-S wheels, at the stock 215/50-17 size, with a H&R Sport drop. I've only got about 5K on them so I can't tell you about wear, but no complaints with dry (fantastic) and wet (I live in the Portland OR area, and it's rained a couple times since I bought the car) traction. Good looking tire too.

I have the BFG's traction t/a's also. They are about 3/4" wider than stock with the stock size (225-45-17), IMO they are very good, they are also very wide for thier size. They are a bit noisy though as compared to the stock mich's.

Actually I'm not dropped, I'm on stock 16's. I've got a NBP 2001 with the OEM body kit.
As for the first reply, I've searched for each one and I've seen what each one says, but I'd like to compare what you all would recommend head to head.
Thanks are more comments are welcome.

i had the tripple tread on my old tl, it was good, i give it credit, in winter wasnt bad either but i spun out one time, but cause of major blizzard and no plowing, going downhill.
but i bought the ones with more perforance instead of the luxury ride, u feel more of the road, and when i had it, i wished i had the touring tires.
