Search as there are many tire threads. There are many Michelin models. I replaced mine with Hankook ventus noble 1 as they were the top rated high performance all season tire by Tire Rack and were much cheaper than Michelins and had a rebate when I got them. they have been great tires the last 5,000 miles.

 

How do the do they do with the old MPG and ride . Looking a for a nice soft quite ride

 

The Tire Rack tire tests include mileage and reports on ride comfort. I think the Hankook were supposed to improve mileage. Ride is about the same or a little better than stock Michelins.

 

To maintain MPG, you would need to include low rolling resistance as part of your tire search. The CT200H also requires a tire of at least a H speed rating to be proper.

Michelin currently has the Premier A/S tire, which is a very good grand touring all-season tire that also has Michelin's low rolling resistance technology, which they refer to as Michelin Total Performance.

My opinion is that the Michelin Premier AS is one of the best Grand Touring tires on the market today. The technology which Michelin showcases in this tire is industry setting as well.

You can read about that tire here

Michelin is slowly discontinuing most of the Michelin Primacy tires (what is found as original equipment on the CT200H) and replacing it with the Michelin Premier.

 

I replaced my tires with the Premier A/S with a V speed rating and so far so good. It rides smooth and quiet. I'd like to see how long they will last. My original Michelin tires lasted me 3.5 years and 75K miles...

Contrary to reviews I'd NOT recommend the Goodyear Assurance comfort touring tires. I've been very impressed with the Continental control contact A/S from America's Tires which is their own brand on my IS350.I was skeptical but felt adventurous enough to buy them and so far so good.
Where you go from there I wish you luck.

 

Thanks for the telling what you think. I've bought tires at the two main online places for the past 10 years at least. I read the reviews from bothe monthly. I would say about 7/10'sets of tires in total That's what I wanted to know real life people that have an CT or a hybrid.
Premire looks like a good one at this point but it really new. I have the MxM now , I would like to try something a little softer in the ride if possible. I have the MXM on my HS and like them but can be a little noisey at times .
Thanks again

 

Bought 2 new Primacy mxm from lexus and they bought the other 2 . bought a CPO and tires where at 4/32 for 2 and others 5/32 (lexus standard was 5 ) so that was a easy choice , they had them in stock .
