Default Time for new tires

Time to replace the factory Pirelli tires. Looking for recommendations for something that is quiet, not going to the track. 2014 V6 Premium, 235, 50, 18.

Want the best? Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Another great tire, Nitto 555 G2.
These are both summer tires. Best all season tire is probably the Michelin A/S 3+

I really liked the Nitto Motivo all season on my 2013.

Thanks for the input on the tires, I went with the Nitto's. Have only driven ~15 miles on them since I had to take directly to the dealer for a coolant leak.

I think it is the water pump based on searching this forum and looking at the TSB's. When I called for the appointment, they said it would be covered by warranty. I am nervous because I am at 36 month + 3 weeks, but only 31,000 miles.

I am also having them check the alignment because the old front tires were wearing much faster on the inside of the tread. It was also bad about chasing grooves in the road.

Warranty on the motor and rest of the power train is 5 years/60,000 miles.
You will have to pay for the alignment though.

Yep, water pump was covered by warranty. Paying $80 for the alignment was worth it. The car drives better than it ever has since I bought it new. As a bonus, the airbag recall was done while they had the car.

I also have the Nitto 555 G2's and am pleased with them. They are much better than the HTRZ III Sumitomo's.
