I would go with the Pilot A/S Plus if you can find them tire rack seems to have good reviews for them though they dont stock em. Discounttire does stock them though

I "think" thats what Ive decided on for my next tires. Id like the regular Pilots but for another 100 bucks each i dont think so....

Yokos are an excellent tire for the money Especially the S-drives. I have those and i love them. The Toyos are WAY over priced but they are also a great tire I HAD and wasn't to happy with the the tire. Michelin is the worlds leading tire I love these tires I have the PS2s and those are a sick set of tires, they are pricey though.

You are going to put those sizes on the stock 19s......

Gary's opinion on "Best Tires!"

My choice of tires is Michelin, nothing comes close for quality and ride. You
should get no less than 30K miles out of a set, Yokos won't last that long.

I'm a michelin man, they are great tires, so that would be my first choice, and I think Toyo next, then Yoko's after that.

Although I have Falkens sitting in my garage to be installed at 25K on my car, Michelin PS2's hands down. No single doubt about it.

There's no "none of the above" option. =(

Commercial break from the poll:
Nitto Invo FTW. Much cheaper than the listed and better performing (and more quiet!). I can say that because I currently own the Michelin A/S on my Bimmer and have used Yokos before.

And now back to the poll:
Michelin > Yoko > Toyo.

Why are you trying to decided between all season tires (Michelins) and 'summer-only' tires (Yokos) and I'm pretty sure the Toyos are summer-only as well?

I think the decision would be based on whether you are going to run a dedicated winter and summer set up. If you have a set of winter tires, I would definately knock the Michelins out.

I'm not sure I would agree with this, the Michelin A/S Plus have wonderful reviews not to far off the Pilot Sports and just as good as the Yokos but with a butt load better tread rating. And they are cheaper then the pilot sports as well

Granted the reviews can be biased but hard to believe so many believe are biased...
