Default Tires of L-Tune 18's

I have L-Tuned 18's and am in the need of replacing the rear tires...what would you recommend? I am looking for tires that will last a long time without be too rough or noisy.

From what I have heard, the Michelin Pilot Sport AS is probably the best bet.

The Michelins are a good choice.They seem to last forever.I have Pirelli Pzero Nero MS's they are smooth and quiet,I'm not sure of the longevity as i only have about 3500 miles on them.

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S is your best bet. They are Ultra High Performance All Seasons with high treadwear and are very quiet. I had these tires on my previous 04 IS 300. They do make a 225/40/18 (L-Tuned Spec).

The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus and the Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS Pole Position would be my 2 top picks. I run the Bridgestone's on an IS and they been great. The Bridgestone is also currently our highest rate Ultra High Performance All-Season tire.

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus



Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS Pole Position
