no more slight vibration and no more driving while wet problems. plus, I can actually push the gas down without spinning the tires forever. Since I finally fixed my coolant leaking issues earlier today I just went ahead and did tires too, now, there is truly nothing wrong with the car. after two months of ABC hoses, upper radiator hose, Tires, about 6 lights throughout here there, Radio repaired, radiator , front brakes, Rim swap, and detail cleaning, I can finally just look at it and not have to do anything to it but enjoy it




Thanks everyone for everyone's help and I hope to keep contributing to all of you too.

What tires did you end up going with? I went with the Hankook Ventus V12 on my last S600. This current one is coming up due for tires soon.

I'd really like to go with the Michelins, but they're just so damn expensive.

Had Michelin pilots. Best tires ever. Quiet , and handle beautiful . Not that big in rain though and they cost way to much, especially considering they don't last long at all. But, they are good tires .

I went with good year eagle f1. Aggressive tread pattern and work very well in the rain. They are a little louder than michelins , but, they last so much longer and are great in the rain

Well Michelins generally are pretty good, which is why I wanted to go with them. And rain...not exactly a hot commodity here in Southern California, haha.

What would you recommend as an alternative to the Pilots?

There is no tire I ever owned comparable to Michelin pilots when it comes to quietness and dry road performance . I have had Pirelli, Goodyear, Michelin , sumo, firestone, and continentals . Continentals are just as quiet but grip like crap.

I generally use all season tires so my preference is definitely Bridgestones.

Forgot about those, I had Bridgestone's on a 96 Porsche C4S 993. Those were some great tires. I would consider those comparable to Michelins pilots.
