Got these bad boys on for the winter and possibly my new all season tires. They are very comfortable and provide a night/day grip during colder temperatures. These tires are so comfortable without sacrificing performance. Anyone else run all season tires all year long? I have 6,000k on my factor pilot sports tires and probably going to sell them.

I was fortunate that my 05 came with low mile Michelin Primacy's on it. I liked them. Had rim leaks I did not catch and ran low pressure only getting about 50 K from the Primacy's, I did like them a lot.

I chose the Continental ExtremeContact in 245 18. I like and trust Les Schwab here in the Northwest, they are everywhere I go, and I appreciate great service. The tech at Schwab drives an MB S class about the same vintage as my LS, he fell in love with my LS. We chatted for a while and he recommended the Continentals.
So far I am loving them, Schwab took care of the bead leaks and guaranteed the work, included with the new tires N/C. No pressure issues so far. They are good in the rain, very solid turn in and bite, and best of all quieter than the Michelins. They both improved the handling, and are quieter. We shall see how we fare over the winter, I do have chains and can always take the 4runner if roads are really bad.
