Our car gets fitted with Nokian Winter tyres during five months of the year and the Nokian WR A4s are pleasantly quiet and very long-lasting....still using this set after six winter seasons. This new Nokian eLine2 summer tyre is quiet, comfortable and I expect it to be long-lasting also. They replaced Michelin Pilot Sport 3, which I found noisy and slightly harsh riding. The Michelins deliver fantastic grip in the rain as well as when it's dry, with precise handling; the natural penalty being they wear relatively quickly. The Nokian is a different style of tyre, more suited for cruising as opposed to charging around, so a good match for a Lexus. Nokian uses a simple and effective numeric indicator on the tread so you can see easily how many millimetres of tread remain.
