Default Michelin Primacy MXV4 Tires for 04 LS430?

I'm thinking about putting Michelin Primacy MXV4's on my 2004 LS430. They are 60k tires and seem to be good tires. I had Dunlop Sports on it before and I didn't get very good wear on them. A friend of mine put Goodyear Comfortreds on his LS430 but they seem to be real loud. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

I put a set on my 2004 early this spring and they're like butter. Car rides great.

Only drawback - noisier on concrete roads.

After 8k I can't even see any wear on them at all, seriously. Just be sure to rotate every 5k blah blah blah...

Thanks for the info. Once I put them on, I'll have to let you know if I think they make a lot of noise on concrete.

Since I didn't get many responses, I am curious what tires everyone is putting on their LS430's. My size is 225/55R17's H Series. Here in Florida there are not a lot of choices in an H series tire.

Going to the major stores, Sears, Sam's, Firestone gives you about 7 total choices from Michelin, Goodyear, Dunlop, and Bridgestone. I have always liked Michelins and that is what I am going with.
