So my brand new IS200T Fsport from Lexus Dealer comes with Dunlop sp sport maxx summer tires, are these any good compare to those Michelin?
In the future, when it comes to replace these tires, do you guys think I should get these same Dunlops ones? or is there a better one out there? thx.

Doesn't compare. The PSS are the best you can get for our cars in the street.

But when I check the price for the Michelin PSS, they're only $180 / per tire. The Dunlops Sp Sport Maxx 050 that are in my car right now are $280 / each? Are you sure the PSS is better?

While it is true that you usually get what you pay for, I think they're dumping inventory the PSS to make way for the PS4S as the PSS are discontinued. If you don't believe us, you're free to do as much research on the PSS as possible; it is so highly praised for good reason.

So the new Michelin PS4S are supposed to replace the PSS ones?
