Default Replacement Tires for GS

I will be replacing the original tires on my 2017 GS. I was wondering if anyone has replaced their GS tires?

Did you go for the same factory tire (in my case the Pilot Super Sport ZP)?

If so, where did you buy them and how much did everything cost for a set?

Thanks!

I just bought a 2018 GS. Mind me asking why you're changing already? How many miles?

I have over 16,500 on the car. One of the back tires is in worse shape than the other three, but there is no point in buying one new tire.

Congrats on driving your car, so many don't. I have 17K on my Z & I need tires as well, keeping hoping Michelin will some all season tires by next spring. If you go back with came on the car, a little over 2K gets you a set, Tire Rack at this time has the best prices I have found so far.

Continental is one option I've seen GS owners choose. I have not tried them myself. Sounds like they deliver a softer ride at a reduced price, but you lose the security of having run flats.

I was out on Tire Racks site and saw the Continental tires. I plan on staying with run flats so they would not work. I did see some info that Michelin has a new tire coming out that would be close to the Super Sport and that may be an option. I am in the process of putting the car away for the winter so it may be possible the new Michelin tires will be out by the time spring comes. I think I am going to stay with that brand since they have performed very well. I figured a new set was going to be $2,000, but hoping it would be less.
