What are the best tires?

My 2012 TL currently has on Michelin Primacy tires that are 6 years old and while I love the tires they are too much for me to spend on to get another set. I’m currently looking at some different options, but I wanted to come on here and ask what y’all think I should put on my precious Acura.

I usually drive about 5,000 to 6,000 miles a year and live in a state that doesn’t have bad winters and is really hot during summer.

What size? The 4G TLs came with 2 factory tire sizes with an optional 3rd.

In case you are still looking for tires-I just had a set of Continental True Contact Tour installed on my 2012 TL FWD. They replaced Continental Pure Contact LS that I drove on for 7 years/70K miles. (discontinued now)

Car is back to being smooth and quiet again at 118K miles. I don't drive very spirited or aggressive, and these are about perfect. Def not cheap, but less than Michelin variety and are 80K tires. Worth checking out.

Don't forget to get an alignment after installing new tires.

Good luck!
