New tires for '15 TLX AWD
I have one of the early 2015 TLX Tech SH-AWD models. Been through the transmission replacement, update to the suspension to stop the vibration, and Acura changed out the OEM tires for Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's when the car had 1,500 miles to minimize the vibration.
The car is now almost 3 years old and has 32K miles on it. The tires aren't completely worn, but I'm not waiting for them to be illegal or unsafe. I loved the Michelins and had planned on just getting 4 more, but wanted to see what suggestions the community has before I pull the trigger. I live in a mostly warm climate where snow isn't a real issue, so all season high performance tires are probably best. Other than the Michelins, anyone have a suggestion that's worked well, especially with the SH-AWD model?

I had the A/S 3s and the next set was CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06 XL.
I have liked these even better. It seems to have even better grip and the tread life is better too.

I have A/S 3+ on now and they're a great tire. Quiet and super responsive. The other tires I had considered were the ones suggested above and since then both Michelin and Continental have improved the tires.

I've had the Pilot Sport AS3 which I loved. And on my previous TL I had the Continental DWS which I also loved. I think the Pilot Sport was a little better performing and has since been replaced with a newer model.
The DWS I think was a little better in different conditions but I use winter tires so I can't comment on deep snow performance on either tire.

I had the Conti DWS 06 on my 15 because the stock tires were hydroplaning like crash when new and felt they were unsafe. I has AS/3 on my Audi but moved to the Conti as they were far cheaper than the Michelin and seemed to be a tad more responsive.
