I have a 2007 GS350 and I need a new set of shoes after 34,000 miles on my oem tires Advan A10 Yoko's 245 40/R18 93y.

I live in south florida and my biggest concern is finding a quiet tire.
Would like to have an equal but cheaper tire than the Yoko's as this is a lease car that needs to go back in 10 months.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Chuck

 

I've done more reading since my post and have decided to go with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Pilots(245 40/R18's) I need them asap as one of my Yoko's is separating, each tire $270 installed, out the door,tax incl. which I think is reasonable for South Florida.

 

Good luck. Check for drift/pull before and after you get the tires.

BTW, unless you are going to keep the car after the lease, why get this tire at this expense?

 

Surprising to hear that your Yoko's lasted that long. I had to dump mine with less than 15k on them due to their unbearable road noise. The Yoko's were replaced with Goodyear Response Edge. Great tire IMO and with nearly 30k on them, they are only now producing a little road noise, but that is expected with any tire that has a lot of miles on them. I agree with GS2006, unless you plan on buying the car after the lease ends, no need to drop over $1000 on tires if you are only going to turn the car back in to the dealer.

 

get the General Exclaim UHP, cheap tire that is quiet....should have minimum specs when turning in your lease also if you drive it reasonably, you should be able to save about 400 bucks or more

 

Hi EyeKutr,

I'm shopping for new tires to replace OEM run flats with conventional all-seasons tires, as my car was originally equipped w/conventional tires, but I got the 18" wheels w/run flats from a GS430, when I purchased my car. Anyhow, I got some estimates from NTB today, & the 2nd recommended tires were those by General. The sales rep said they get a lot of BMW owners who replace the original tires (usually Continental or Bridgestones, I think) with these tires by General. Do you have the Generals on your GS now? If so, do you recommend them?

 

Same tire I went with and love it. Ride is much quieter and smoother.
