which tires should i get for my type s wheels looking for a good brand name

Will Y.

What are your planned uses and preferences?
Will you need all-seasons? Will you have a separate set of winter tires? Or can you get away with summer tires like those of us who live on the West and Southern coasts?
Is your priority a quiet ride, tire wear or traction?

The OEM tire on the type S was the Michelin MXM4 Pilot, which has been replaced with the MXM4 Primacy. The Conti DW/DWS, Michelin Pilot Sport and Bridgestone Pole Position 960/970 all have their fans.

Every major brand has at least 2 different W-rated or higher tires that fit different priorities. Costco carries the Michelin and BF Goodrich brands; it sometimes also has Bridgestone tires that work on the 3G TL.
Check the TireRack.com website for overviews, tests and reviews; then use it as a baseline for pricing.

There are multiple tire threads here, too, that you can see and search for tires for specific goals.

Well it depends on what you are looking for in a tire!

If you want a tire with good dry and wet performance

1. Continental DW -> Have had 3 sets on my 760 and I absolutely love them
2. Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 -> an amazing tire that has been put on many exotic cars, it's newer iteration just hit the market -> Michelin Pilot Super Sports!


If you want a good Ultra High Performance All Season Tire:
1. Continental DWS -> Have them on my TL and love them!

I plan on going with Dunlop's SP Sport Signature when the time comes, I'm a Goodyear fanatic as I've had nothing but excellent luck with them in the past.

I too was a Goodyear fanatic after getting the Eagle F1 A/S's when they 1st came out. Problem was Goodyear didn't maintain quality control throughout the tire's production cycle and even Tire Rack noticed it, "A TIRE THAT'S LOST ITS LUSTER" was their finding in subsequent tests.

I originally thought about going with the Dunlop's SP Sport Signature until I saw the owner reviews on Tire Rack and seeing the # of them available on the used tire market, TONS of them actually. Ask yourself why.

Settled on the Continental DWS's and haven't looked back..

Hands down the Cooper Zeon RS3-A is the best option out there! Running them on my 08 tls and the are doing awesome! Number one rated on consumer reports for a reason and u wont be disappointed! I'm in the tire business and had nothing but good reviews

I just replace the OEM tires with 245/45 17 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. I use to be a fan of Goodyear, but all their tires wore out too quickly for me. I was also used Bridgestone but the last set I had on my wife's car were terrible and I pulled them off with 50% treadlife remaining. I've always had good luck with Michelin.

I just picked up a set of Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec in 255/40/17, previously I had the Hankook Ventus V12 in 245/45/17 but I found them to be too soft and thread wore fast.
