Default Tires

What tires are you guys using on your GS's? I'm running with the Falken Azenis ST-115 245/35/20. This doesn't seem to be a very popular tire but I've loved it since I put them on my old ES3. Very quiet tire and I think it has good grip. Plus the tires are not very expensive compared to Pirellis, Michelins, etc.

I am running 245/35/20 and 275/30 Toyo T1R and this tire has been the best tire I have run to date. I have tried BFG on my durango and the T1S and the T1R just have far exceeded my expectations as far as ride and durability

Michelin Pilot Primacy, love em. Very smooth and quite and grip very well too. Tried Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 tires for a few days. They seemed to handle a little better but they were noisy and followed pavement grooves too readily. Before that I had the BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDWS tires and they were spooky at very high speeds. Kind of like the car was floating on the road. They had only a few thousand miles on them but I took them off because I almost wrecked too many times with them.

Default Nitto 555!

I just purchased the Nitto 555 from the Dunlop SP 9000! The Dunlop's were pretty good, but got loud after being worn(used)! I purchased the Nitto's due to my budget at the time and having two flats in one week! So far they are pretty quiet and handle alright! Only 500 miles on them?

I've got the Falken FK451's all around, and must say they are quiet for a 245/35/19 (front) 285/40/19 (rear) ratio tire, so far dry grip is very good, where the Eagle's would break loose these just grip like there's no tomorrow. Still to see how they perform in the wet and how hard it is to get them break their grip and if they break gradually or all of a sudden.
