IS200T - New Tyres
Hi All,
I appreciate there would be thousands of threads covering tyre choices but I just wanted to ensure I got the latest opinion.
I drive a 2015 Lexus IS200T Fsport. I bought the vehicle 2nd hand with the front tyres being "Michelin Pilot Sport 4" and with the rear tyres being "Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 050"
Default sizing: front: 225/40R18 88Y, rear: 255/35R18 90Y.
I need new rear tyres but I am going to consider getting all 4 if i can land myself a discount deal.
My main priorities are:
1. Quietness - don't want to hear a thing.
2. Comfort - don't want to feel a thing.
I value the above over general performance etc and I live in Melbourne so no major weather extremities.
Just wondering if you guys could help with any specific tyre models factoring in the above? I have had no dramas with the Michelin's - do they have a newer/better model?
Cheers in advance!

I'd say it depends on which Michelins... Michelin certainly make some more sporty tires, as well as more grand-touring tires. But like Flash5 said there's some good, ahem, discussion over in the "Quite tires" thread... It's still active so you will be getting recent opinions.
