I have Micheln Hydro Edge on my '02. They have close to 60,000 on them and still have tread. Should be good for another 10,000 or so.

Check reviews on Discount Tire and Tire Rack web sites. Reviews are sorted by miles driven, type of veh, etc. Might be helpful.

cant really go wrong with a nice premium michelin tire...

Pilot MXV4's are cool for 'aggressive' drivers, and the new primacy MXV4's are suppose to be as sticky as the pilot's but better in wet and snow.....and 60,000 mile tread-life warranty


'aggressive' used very loosely!

You will get many mixed reviews about that tire. But I had a set on my Seville, and I absolutely loved them. I give that tire a 10 out of a possible 10. The tires are currently on my brother-in-laws Lincoln Mark VIII, and he loves them also. In my opinion, you cannot buy a better all-season tire.

I wouldn't buy anything buy the Goodyear Assurance TripleTred personally. Goodyear also offers a tire called the ResponsEdge if you want more performance.

On a Caddy, nothing spells "prosperous" like tippin' out in the mustard 'n mayos (Vogue Tyres)

I don't care about the prosperous. I want long tread life, good traction, reliability, and a road hazard.

Nice car, nice wheels.

Say no to Michelin Energys. Michelin Pilot Sport would be a good choice.

Apparently you are not thrilled with the OEM Continental Contact A/S, but mine had plenty of tread left at 50K miles when one of the front ones had a ply separation. I have found them to be extremely smooth and I got a new set for $285 plus $60 shipping from an EBay tire store.

I had the continentals on my 07 DTS and they were awful in rain or snow.I switched to Goodyear Assurance tripple treads and i thought they rode too rough. I changed to Goodyear Regatta 2 tires and now have a smooth ride and good traction. I also had them road force balanced at a local Firestone store and it made a difference also. Road force balancing cost me 40 dollars.
