GS350 F-Sport tire wear and life expectancy
#16
I tossed my Dunlops after 20k miles with 7/32" of tread. They were noisy and wandered. I talked to Rexus a lot and just got Michelin MXM4s in oem size (235 40/19). I thought they would have a little more comfort than the new A/S 3s. So far they are a huge improvement over the Dunlops, and I'm glad I made the switch.

Nice! One of the reasons I was leaning towards getting a luxury vs a f-sport is tire wear. 20k is great though. Hmm.

I think I am going to make the switch away from a high performance summer tire once my Dunlops are dead as well. I am at 14k miles right now and they'll probably last me until about 30k miles. I feel I paid for these, I'm going to get my use out of them. These tires were awesome when they were brand new, but now they ride like they're made of stone and have lost 40-50% of their original traction. I can't keep the traction control from coming on in first gear now, the rear tires just spin which is hard to do with the amount of torque we have and a 265 tire on the back!
I was really interested in the new Michelin A/S Super Sports... Motor Trend did a comparison and they have nearly the same handing of their summer brother, but more comfort. I must be getting old, I am looking for comfort in tires

About 11K on the car, tires have about 65% left in the back and 80% in the front. I'm about an 80:20 city and commute driver and only occasionally do any sport driving. I think about 25K I'll need a new set, looking at pilots likely.
OEM Bridgestone's are ok. Not my favorite but good enough. I think noisier than the pilots I've had in the past but it's tough comparing tires on different cars.
