Tire Suggestions!!!!

Dealer I bought my 08 TL Type-S threw some really awful tires on my ride prior to me buying it. I made the mistake by not looking, I mean they had tons of tread, and I didn't think they could be all that bad, but they are, sounds like I'm driving a Jeep with snow tires, they are horrible. I'm looking to go with an HP All-Season. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

And if you want to add in the Grand Touring tires....

Michelin Primacy MXM4
Michelin Premier A/S
Bridgestone Turanza Serenity+
Pirelli Cintuarto P7 AS+
General Altimax RT43

You need to determine your price range, needs, wants, and go search out what tire meets those requirements. Lots and lots of tire discussion already in the forums...as well as CR and tirerack tests/ratings/reviews.

They're summer only tires with a UTQG of only 340 if that makes a difference.

Although Tire Rack is reputable place to do business with, tires are one of those things you should buy from whomever installs them.
That way, you'll have only 1 entity to deal with in the event of a problem. Not sure where you're located, but I buy from Mavis, a regional chain of tire stores that makes the whole process of buying and servicing tires headache free.

I got my DWS06 at Sears, used some coupons and the Shop Your Way discounts and than had my Acura dealer install them. Saved good money doing it that way, and the tires have been great albeit a little soft.

+1 for Continental Extreme Contacts or Michelin Pilot Super Sports. We recommend those to just about everyone!

We've been very happy with both. If you'd like a quote feel free to send me a PM, we do tires too!

if you living southern state I would say go for the Extreme Contact or Pilot Super Sport. I had them both and they are compete pretty close in grip, however I note the Pilot SS wear out a little faster.
