Default Best tires for 09-13 Touring stock wheels?

We are going to start offering tires to customers that purchase our chrome wheel exchange.

I would like to hear what your favorite replacement tire brands are, and perhaps a little bit about why they are your favorite.

Thanks for your help!

X2, plus they handle very well in wet or dry conditions and have a longer wear life.

+3 on the American Elite's.

I have just over 7,500 miles on mine since I switched, and they still look like new and handle great.

I have AE too, but some people swear by Metzlers and would have nothing else. You'll have to stock both whitewall and blackwall versions...

Yeah OE tires wear well and handle real well, it's one of those if 'it ain't broke don't fix it' scenarios.

Looks like it's unanimous. I'm on my second set of Dunlop American Elite's - these are 20K tires and handle great.

The stock OEM Dunlops have always served me well. The newest of my 2014 Limited are great, wet or dry.
