As a Brand I Have Only Had Experience with Michelin & Pirelli. I Had Good Experience's with Them! I Will Defer to Our Posters with Direct Experience for Better Real World Advice!

Good Luck!

Have you looked at Continentals, that is what I am running and they turn real nice and have made a few cars and their drivers look a little off.
Actual performance numbers from my car

Also take Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 into consideration as well... They're right up there along with Michelin and Continental, but at half the cost... I've been running them on my car for several years now and couldn't be happier.

Unfortunately good performance tires yield low mileage.

Actually 275/45/20 's But They are The Same Width as 275/55/20. 10.8 vs 12 Width. She Seldom Drives Anymore. I Behave a Lot More These Days as Well!

On the Other Hand Your Tire is a Lot taller. If I Made the Switch to that Size it Would Take My 3.73 Gears and Effectively Change Them to 3.47. Actually Might Not Be a Bad Thing With gas Prices These Days! Oh Well The Firestones Will Dry Rot Before I Get Enough Miles to Need another set Now! Or Me!

IT'S COOL NO BIG WHEEL! Never Heard the 10th Gen Reference! This Old Dog is Still Learning! In Analog Fashion Though! It's Funny Buying Something Brand New and Still Having it When it Becomes a Classic! Aye Carumba!
