Hi guys, i need a quick answer. My mechanic just called me and told me that my 17inch(235/45/R17) Michelin Pilot Sports A/S were shot(25,000) miles. I liked them, but i kind of want a little more comfortable ride. Can you recommend a good alternative? Also, on tire rack, they do not have the MXV4's in 235/45 R17. Any other size i can get them in for the GS with the stock 17's that will fit?


Thanks!!

get the same tire size for the stock rim... just make sure the load rating is the same if not higher... same goes to the speed rating. You can try other brands. ive had great luck with the Nitto Invo when i had them on my car and loved em for their grip and crazy tread pattern.

Ok. So are the Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position more comfortable or are a better tire than the Michelin Pilot Sports A/S?

Thanks for answers
