Has anyone replaced the Michelin’s that came on their RDX with something different? After 30,000 miles, mine are almost bald. Looking for a good alternative since I’m not too pleased with how quickly these wore (I rotated every 7,500 miles).

Firestone destination LE2s here - I've got FWD, not AWD. Much quieter than the michelins and better wet traction (especially as the michelin's wore out). They don't have a AA temperature rating, but I live in Dallas, so that's not too much of an issue.

I would just follow tire rack reviews for the OE tire size - there are actually a good number of decent choices in the stock size.

Installing four Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus tires today. I also noticed that Acura gives you quotes for tires through their dealership service sites and they were offering the Scorpions for $106/tire, which is a pretty good deal.

Interesting how different peoples experiences are. We have 43500 miles on our OEM Michelins and they have been great. Still lots of tread. I will ad that the first 25k of driving was done on 140 mile a day highway runs so I am sure that extended the life. That being said, if I can get the Pirelli Verdes for half the price and they have a longer warranty, this is where I will be going for the next set.

Agreed. Fresh rubbed is hard to beat. I replaced the OEM Michelins at 46K and they had about 3/32 left on all four, so probably could have gotten them closer to the 55K warranty.
