Default Tire Help?

I knew this was coming, so this is not a complaint. 20K on my 2017 GS and it's time for tires. I don't track the car so skid pad numbers are not an issue. Looking for something a little less aggressive (read: cheaper) than the stock Michelins. But dang! very few options for a 335. I found some Continentals that look promising. I don't mind going with non-runflats. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Lots of people seem to like the Michelin a/s 3 all season tires. There was a Labor Day special at discount tire that offered all 4 for about $1,000.

Do a search here. Considerable postings on tire options have been made, and I'm sure Contis were in that.

I just put Michelin AS 3 on my GS because I got a good deal from my dealer. Each tire cost $30 more than from Discount Tire Direct but that included mount and balance. Had it not been for that fact, I would have gone with Continentals. I ran Hankooks on my previous GS (C6) and if they ever make 335's I'll not hesitate to buy them.
May be worthwhile to ask your dealer. I have found that my dealer seems better than most.
