Summer tire recommendation?
Hi there,
I'm new to this forum, and was wondering if somebody could recommend a summer tire for a 2008 400h, to be used only in summer as we have a separate set of winter tires. We use the SUV for driving around the city and long trips on highways/interstates, and would like a quiet, soft ride if possible. OEM tire size is 235/55-18, and I plan to purchase them from Tire Rack in the U.S.
Thanks!

Summer only tires are usually high performance and thus noisy, not low rolling resistance and don't last as long. The summer only tires on my BMW actually have a warning on them not to drive them when weather is below 40 degrees.
The quietest tire I found was the stock Michelin Energy S8 but I don't like them because they wear out fast. I am currently using the Michelin Latitude Tour which is lasting much longer and is just as quite. It has an M&S rating and did great in the snow when they were newer.

I agree with Smassey...When I lived in Arizona I would just buy summer tires since it only rained a few days each year and the temperature never got below 30. They would wear out in about a year - year and a half. It was kind of a pain to get them replaced so often but they handled so well!
