Michelin's are quite frankly most popular tires amongst most communities and shops. Personally, they are great, but there are other tires available for cheaper and similar. I've had Kumho Ecsta's, Bridgestone Potenzas, Falken Ziex's in the past and they were all similar but cheaper.
Ultimately, it's all about finding the right deal.

Gotta disagree on the Falken Ziex's.... I put them on the Honda when the Kumhos came off and found them to be much softer, even though they were the same speed rating. Perhaps some of their other sizes perform better than their 205/60/16s. If I were to use anything other than the Michelins on the Lexus (or the Honda for that matter), it would likely be Hankooks. Not only have I run them before and liked them, many members on CL have given them very good reviews for our cars.

its funny how much back and forth with opinions on michelins. make it quite simple for everyone,
they are hands down the best tire manufacturer in world. the extra forty dollars a tire you get back in efficiency with gas mileage, the ride is the best especially with the primiacy mxv4 and the longevity of the tire is simply unbeatable averaging 50,000 miles
lets put the tire issue to rest unless you get a turanza serenity set for 200 less there is nothing else to consider for the touring car. cheers

I use Kumho, don;t really care about noise or comfort. Compared to my exhaust, the tire noise is barely audible. Compared to the aftermarket wheels and low profile tires, the harder tires makes barely any difference.

I'm ready to dump the OEM crappy Dunlops on my Wife's 2012 IS. These are the noisiest ,rough riding pieces of junk I've ever had on a car.. I tried to get the Stealership to swap the Dunflops for Michelins,but they wanted over $250.00 to swap them out.
I'm so ready to get Michelins.

). Just as quiet as the OEM's.Be careful when you get responses regarding Kumho Ecsta tires - they make a variety of Ecstas. Make sure they're talking about the Ecsta 4X.
Very reasonably priced also - good value.
