Michelin Pilot Sport A/S

Does anyone have any first hand info if these tires are as good as they claim to be. The reviews are excellent-I know they are about $180 a pop. I'm looking for the best perfromance tries in the $150 -$190 price range. I want my TL to corner like my dog hugs a hydrant!

Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks

You may want to look into the Yokohama AVS ES100's. http://tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?...num=15WR7ES100

I have them and they rock, especially for the price.

Why would you use ultra-high performance tires on a TL? The TL is not anywhere close to being a great-handling car. Pilot Sports are for serious sports cars. A waste for TLs.

a simple set of good tires will turn the car into something that will out handle just about every thing out there. thats why you would spend (not waste) the money on a good set of tires

A TL-S with CT Sways and Springs is a DAMN fine handling car, well deserving of these tires!! Trust me on this one..........

When it rains, the car sticks!

Well, I'm shopping for prices...trying to get a decent deal on the Pilots. I have close to 35K on the stock Michelin's and they are just not handling at all at this point. Yes I could prob put on another 10K with them, but that would defeat the ride of the TL-lol

michelin pilot sports are awsome...i have the summer ones, not the all seasons. they stick like glue, and it improves handling too especially with springs and sways
