What all season tires work best on a TL?
Well I'm having vibration problems on my new TL (1100 miles). From what I have read on this forum and my experience I believe it is the OEM tires.
What tires have other forum users put on the car that they are happy with?

The general opinion is Michelin Pilot Sport AS are excellent for this car. Michelin tires tend to be (and stay) extremely round (low vibration) from my experience.
I plan to buy dedicated snows when the time comes. All season tires are still a compromise and I really do not want to get stuck in cold, snowy weather.

These are not all season, but I just replaced my HPT (RE-030) tires with Michelin Pilot Sport PS-2's, and these tires are fantastic. They're quiet, have a great ride, and absolutely no vibration issues.

For Vanwall, I have the Falken 512's. Handle great and much cheaper than the Michelin Pilot A/S which I recommend also.

[QUOTE=Brokedoc]You live in PA and you don't have all season tires? I hope you have a set of winters on the side.
I never drive my TL in the snow. Also, I try and avoid rain because I'm lazy and don't like detailing the car each time it gets caught in the rain. The PS-2's are excellent in the rain from what I noticed the one time I got caught in a torrential downpour accidently. I have a second car that I drive in the winter and bad weather and also to commute to work. My TL is only for good weather driving so All Season tires are not important to me. The PS-2's are the best tires I've ever owned...and that list is quite long....they are simply the best tires for this car bar none.
