Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus

I just bought a set of Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus 225/55/16. I've heard great things about this specific tire, so I decided to go with it. I get them put on Monday or Tuesday. I'll post my reviews then. Has anyone else had this tire?

Tire Update - Review

Okay, I totally forgot to reply to my post. School has kept me crazy busy. Anyway, these tires are awesome! After 8 months, they still look brand new and keep in mind... I drive A LOT due to being away at college. I will definitely purchase these tires in the future (HHR or not).

I purchased a set of 215/55R/16's Serenity Plus a year ago and found that they had a annoying harmonic noise at around 53-60mph.
I tried many possible fixes with no results so I had them take the tires back and bought Michelins. No noise problems with them.
I am looking at the Pirelli P7 Plus All Season now as they are getting excellent reviews.
Even better then some Popular Michelin's.

Really? Wow. I haven't had that problem. As always everyone rave's about Michelin but I wanted to save a few bucks. I've never bought Pirelli but I'm sure they're great, especially if there are a lot of positive reviews. As long as these tires do not hum, I will purchase them again!

Papa Joe,

It isn't that I don't like Michelin as I have used their tires on most vehicles I have owned. It's just that on the HHR I am looking for some different characteristics that Michelins do not have in the size for HHR 16"

I go back with Michelin to when they first came into this country and I was selling them retail and wholesale for a tire distributor in Seattle. At that time they only had a few odd ball small sizes available for foreign cars. That was in the early 1960's. As I recall they all came in from France.

That was 2 or 3 owners ago.

Reminds me when the police cars came in for new tires we had to mount them black side out because a taxpayer complained about spending extra money on whitewalls. Michelin ONLY made whitewalls.
