Default Gs450H 2008 tires

I love this car! Wish they still made them, and improved performance.

115k. I am hooked on the CVT transmission. Can’t find a new car I like better. GSF is faster, but I hate being able to count to 3 after flooring it, and don’t need the sound effects. Acceleration 70-> 90+ is what matters on Cal I5!

Originally I found the run flats to be — jittery. Don’t have a better word for it.

Solution was the BMW Bridgestone Potenza RE 050A 245x18 RFlat. Car is on rails, or maybe like a maglev.

No longer available.

Any tire suggestions? How about the Z rated Potenza for the GSF?

Can't go wrong with Michelin pilot sports! Isn't the CVT amazing!? Those that knock it haven't driven the gs450h's.

Here in California I can run summer tires year round. I use the Pilot supersport 4's right now

you need to be more specific what qualities in a tire matter most. Those Michelin 4s tires are awesome but get horrible mileage. An equivalent Bridgestone would be the RE-71 or Potenza S04. If you want something with high mileage and runflat take a look at the Driveguard
