I have a 2007 LS460 with 18" tires and I will be needing tires in a few more months. I live in Austin and would be willing to drive up and have the tires installed if the price is not too much. Let me know what price you would sell them for.

Default What speed-rated Serenity to use

I too am soldon the Serenity tires from Bridgestone but from what I have read there several speedratings for this tire. I had planned on a V rated - any recommendations?

Last spring I bought Pirelli P Zero Nero tires to replace my OEM Bridgestone EL42's. I chose the Pirelli's because they were top rated in Tire Rack's test in '09 and '10 and came in second in '11. The key for me was their comment in the '11 test - What We Liked: Comfortable road manners and ultimate dry and wet traction . I believe they also came in first in Consumer Reports tests as well.

I don't push the car enough to be concerned about dry traction, but I tend not to drive any slower when its wet. So I wanted the best wet traction available in a tire. I can say that the tire handles the best I have experienced on a car. I've tried various Michelins, Bridgestones, Dunlops and Goodyears on my Infiniti Q45a and none have performed as well as this Pirelli tire on wet roads.

I just installed 4 Michelin Energy A/S. The ride is much better than the crappy Dunlop's my car came with from the factory.
