Default Tire recommendations for GS 350
Need Help!

I need to replace my tires due to alignment issues. I currently have Yokohama ADVAN A10. My local tire shop is trying to sell me SUMITOMO: TOUR PLUS LS-H/V/W which I never heard of.

Are there any good/decently priced tires I should look into outside of my current yokohama advan tires?

225/50 R17

Thanks!

The Yoko was a stock tire.......worst tire I have ever driven on.

3 good choices:

(1) Continental Extreme Contact DWS (2) Bridgestone Serenity (3) Michelin MXV4

All good choices.

If you live in CA then prob #2 & #3 are better choices.

You will have a DIFFERENT ride geting ride of those crap Yoko tires.

Continental DWS. Had them on my oem wheels, and just out some on my new 19's. Really love these tires, and they last a good while along with other reasons for purchasing again.

Continental DWS is a bit more expensive than many other brands out there but it is definitely worth it.

Still not as expensive as its Michelin counterpart.

In road tests, Continental usually scores RIGHT UNDER Michelin too! Not by far either.
