spine Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Hi Purchased a 2010 IS250 AWD and had the dealer switch out the Bridgestone Potenza's for Michelin Primacy MXV4. They are amazing tires with very good reviews. Quiet and supposed to have amazing treadlife. There are a couple of different MXV4 models so make sure they are Primacy Good Luck!

LEX-SV Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I'm using all season Kumhos on my Mercedes C-class, good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.scott Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Would the Michelin Primacy tire work on a 350C that is not AWD ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your tires tread life is fine, it is the alignment set up from the factory that is the problem. Take a look at the sticky on this forum that details the problem. What I did is take my tires off the wheels and put the left side tires on the ride side wheels. Now the inside of the tires are on the outside of the opposite side of the car. The tires are still rolling in the same direction, just on the opposite side of the car. This will extend the life of your tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Merdjan Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Continental extreme contact dws #1 I've had those for almost 20k so far, and have been very pleased! Comparing to the noisy P Zero Nero I had before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snig Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Highly recommend Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex2670 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Highly recommend Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus Just had these replaced after 27,000 miles -- worn inner edges. Michelin reimbursed 41% of the replacement cost of the Primacy MX4's. I liked the Pilot Sports, but I'm hoping these will last longer.

Costco told me that they see the inner edges of the Pilot Sports wearing early a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexusteve Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Has anyone tried Napa Ultra Premium Rotors? I'm considering just replacing rotor with new one. I was going to work on breaks this Saturday. Dealer parts are too expensive. I see some good rotors like Centric and Raybestos, but have to order on-line and will take about a week to get it. Napa is only local place I can find rotor with some sort of rust protection. It says "Onyx Guard Protectant Prevents Rust & Corrosion On The Rotor's Hat & Vanes" Don't know if that is just simple paint, or something equivalant to dealer part. Any ideas?

lexusteve Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I've used NAPA UP rotors on my Tahoe and late model Corvette with no issues. Good price and they hold up well even under a little spirited driving. Also switched over to ceramic pads for quiet and cleaner wheels. A very slight decrease in braking effectiveness, but not a problem for the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexusteve Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I have Continental ExtremeContact DWS's on all corners. One of the best tires I've ever driven. Very quiet, good traction wet and in snow and looks great. Only have 7K on them so can't tell you about wear yet. Not a high priority for me this time.

wlk12 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I just had Kumho Ecsta 4X installed on my IS250. Very pleased so far. Handles well and comfortable. Too early to tell anything about wear. Seems like a very good tire for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm from PA and there are hills everywhere! It's time for me to replace my tires, and I've been putting it off b/c I can't seem to find an all season tire that performs well in the snow and/or ice. I'm wondering if I should just purchase snow tires for the moment, but that can be quite costly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now have 15K on these tires. My report on traction, noise and comfort is the same. Still one of the best tires I've had on any vehicle.

While it can be costly, your other tires will last longer because you are putting 0 miles on them while your snows are on. It can certainly be a pain logistically. As for snow traction with the all seasons, you should check out the surveys and ratings on Tire Rack. With low profile tires like on the IS, nothing's going to be ideal, but you should get a pretty good idea from the Tire Rack surveys as to what relative qualities each tire has.
