That is what I use. I know there are better tires out there but I just have no reasons/cons to switch. I'm a street driver only. Now if I tracked that would allow me to see a different side

All round best tires are Michelin's IMO. I've had lots of tires and the Michelin's are had to beat. They are usually the most expensive. guess you get what you pay for is true.

+1. I agree with Jim: all round. I've found that tires which are NOT all round are less comfortable and wear faster. But they're definitely cheaper. And they're usually fine if it's just sitting in the driveway.

Over the last 25 years I have bought nothing but Michelin tires.

I have what Ekam posted and I really like the MIchelin Pilots. It's the second set for me. You won't go wrong with these tires on the street.
