I would go for Michellin Primacy 3/hp made in France, or Bridgestone Turanza/Potenza made in Japan.

Try to get all the wheels the same size and not different sizes especially on bumpy roads you will need to rotate constantly.

Don't buy Continental, Pirelli, Dunlop especially when you have bad roads.

My 18's on continental tires is the same as my 17's on Michelins as far as handling bumpy roads.

The two highest rated and liked here are Michellin and Continental. Can't go wrong with those. Read the reviews @ Tire Rack. The Porsche guys like Sumitomos. I went with those on my C350. Good value and great tire IMO.

No one talks about the bridgstone ps 04's but they are rated nearly the same as the MPSS but cost less. I dont get it. I have been running them for years and they are great tires.

i'm from lebanon. We have a 4 season weather. Rain in the winter and hot in the summer. Roads are very bumpy. The dealer recommended that i should buy yokohama s drive. They are cheaper than continental/michelin and have a good quality.
