Default Michelin primacy MXV4 discontinue, recommendation

i love the Michelin primacy mxv4 on my 99 ls400, and now in need of a new set, but sadly it's discontinue, I was able to get 60k mile from it. What are the best tires comparable to Michelin primacy that you can recommend, or everyone is happy with?

I just got some pirelli cinturato p7 all season plus. They are awesome tires. I have 8,000 miles or so on mine. Great reviews for sure.

Michelin Premier A/S - currently Tire Rack's #1 rated tire in the "Grand Touring All-Season" category: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....RatingsReviews

I bought a set of four at Costco last year during a $70-off promotion.

I'm using some Bridgestone Potenza RE97-AS on my SC430 wheels I've put on. To me they're a pretty good tire, very quiet on the highway and hold their balance perfectly for a long amount of time.

My alignment tracks perfectly straight as well, no tramlining or anything you get with directional tires.

I'm happy with any tire that has tread and keeps the rims off the ground.

Put new 225/60 R16 Uniroyal Tiger Paw Touring 98H 55k warranty on my 99, and they ride very nice, seem to do great in rain and the recent heavy snow, plus they are quiet. Paid $106.28 per tire including valve stems and mounting and balancing.

I put the Pirelli P7s on mine due to great low cost from Sams.... but..... I find in wet conditions on paint (crosswalks), brick, they slip a bit. So, I would not recommend them for wet environments. They do seem quiet. I paid about $425 mounted and balanced.

I've used the Conti DWS and have been pleased with them. What part of CA are you in? If you don't have to deal with snow, the Sumitomo HTR ZIII have great dry & wet performance.

I switched from Primacy to Premier also.Love both!Leaning toward Primacy as Premier does not have as stiff walls.
