LMAO!

I've had great experiences with all but one type of Michelin tire: the Pilot Sport A/S. That was the first set I put on my LS, which Michelin allowed me to exchange for the OEM Michelins (Pilot HX MXM4).

The Sports had high road force and a horrible pull. Mind you, maybe the set was defective, but after trying the HXs from another car on mine, I was sold. That is a smooth and quiet tire; not sporty, but the car "floats" with them. Somehow, I've heard the same complaints about the Sports from others.

My 19s have Michelin Primacy MXM4s, and they are awesome, but they do flat spot even though they're not a sporty tire. I've always been puzzled by it . Still not as smooth as the 18s, but they're fantastic.

I recently put Contis on the LX and am waiting for the OE Michelins to come off backorder to swap them. Enough said.
