04/2015 NX200t @ 28,000 Km / 17,500 mi
- Oil and filter changed every 5k Km
- Air filter replaced once at 10k Km
- OEM Akebono front pads wore out after 11k Km, replaced with EBC Yellows (wore out after 25k Km), subsequently replaced with Hawk HPS 5.0
- OEM rear pads half worn at 11k Km, replaced with genuine Toyota part and still ok
- OEM brake fluid boiled during spirited driving and was subsequently replaced with aftermarket DOT4 via Techstream. Gets replaced annually or whenever it boils, whichever comes first.
- Hit nasty pothole at around 24k Km. Caused annoying clunk. Replaced lower control arms, ball joints, outer tie rods, rack ends, stabilizer links, and front left wheel bearing to no avail. Replaced all AVS shock absorbers to no avail. Turned out the pothole just knocked the F-Sport lateral damper loose. Now have an extra set of AVS shock absorbers. lol
- Replaced original tires with GT Radial Champiro HPYs (paired with aftermarket wheels) and eventually installed Toyo Proxes St-IIs since the GT Radials were about to expire.

Ditto on the road noise and low mileage. I just hit 10K after 19 months.

I found the same to be true with the standard tires that they had. I had michelins at first, ran into an issue when them shaking so the local dealership swapped them out for Yokohamas. I dealt with those for a while and then when it was time to replace them went with a cooper brand tire, better, not great. Just this past week I took the risk and put on the Vredestein tires, and surprisingly both the ride and the noise level have greatly improved! i was quite surprised and shocked!

Anyway, to your question, we have the Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires.
