New tires choice Michelin Primacy MXV4 / Cooper Zeon ...

Hi Community,

Can you recommend me tires for my 08 TL base.

I drive a lot on a winding roads at about 35-50mph.

I need good grip and control. I rarely drive over 80mph/h

Currently I have a very crappy noname made in china.

My budget is 120-150 per tire. top 700

I can buy via sears/costco/tirerack

Thank you,
Asgaroth

The Michelin Primacy is on sale at Costco through 3/1.

If you have Executive membership, there is an additional $60 off through TODAY.

I picked up a set of Pirelli Cinturato P7s A/S Plus about 900mi ago. Love the tires.

They're quiet, grip great, handle wet roads with the same grip as if they were dry, and give the car a more comfortable and luxurious ride, imo.

I picked up a set at America's Tires for $732.xx OTD.

I was considering Michelin MXM4s too, but decided to try the Pirellis as I never had a car with them before, glad I went with them. We got the MXV4 on two other cars in the house and they're great tires, but I can't make a fair comparison as both those cars have had those tires on for 20,000mi +.

MXV4's ride very nice on my wife's Impala and handle well for what they are, felt fine in snow too. I went with Pilot Sport AS3's on my TL and it handles really well, although they're out of your price range.

Can't speak to the Cooper, but the MXV4 is a tried and true favorite. Very quiet and comfortable.
