IS350 all-seasons. What are you running?
It's time to pitch the Dunlops the car came with and I want all-season tires on it. I'm torn between the Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S and the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S.
Would love to hear from owners of either tire!

How is the noise compared to the stock Dunlops?
I've heard the Michelins get pretty loud as they wear. Anybody put enough miles on them to comment on that?

I got the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S after coming close to hitting the wear-bars on my Dunlop Sport Maxx at 23k miles.
In the winter it only rains a lot with an occasional chance of morning frost on the road here in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Michelins are on-par in terms of performance at up to 8/10th driving, but when you start to push them hard, they will understeer a lot more than the summer tires in both dry or wet weather. They are pretty responsive, so they don't just break-loose suddenly. Lots of tire-squealing and light-slippage before breaking loose... At least I'm probably going to get closer to 30 - 35k miles on them.
I've only had them for 5k miles, and they are still pretty quiet. Much more quieter than what I remember of the Dunlops.

If not, I'm a sucker for changing to all-season tires in California.
