Hello everyone
This is a new post to carry forward on my plan to update my TLX OEM tires I mentioned in my new forum member introduction.
I will pickup the TLX SH Tech on the 19th and of course it has 18" Goodyear LS2 225/50R18 tires. I was not impressed with several reviews for this tire and decided to upgrade to the Michelin Pilot A/S 3 in the same size (P225/50R18).
I borrowed a handheld sound meter from work and I plan to take cabin readings for decibels level with both the OEM tires and the new Michelins just to see if any significant difference in noise either by decibel level or my own ears.
The appointment to change the tires is later on the 19th (same as car pickup date) so I won't have the OEM tires on the car for very long for comparison purposes and have already sold the Goodyears to a co-worker.
So - I will update this post with the noise level info, and how I feel about the new tires periodically. Since I also have a 4G TL SH, I will also post some noise levels from it under same conditions with it's OEM Michelin MXM tires to see difference compared to TLX.
In the Spring, I plan to put 19" Honda Performance (HPT) or Acura Diamond cut wheels on the TLX with probably Michelin Pilot summer tires.
Thanks - will update as I can
