2012 Genesis 4.6: Wow! Nice Car!

[BacktoHyundaibychoice]

Took the Equus in for the 15K service tonight, and they gave me a platinum Genesis as a loaner. I can't believe how much the steering and suspension have improved over my original '09. In fact, the steering was so much tighter/heavier I thought I was in Sport mode by accident... But there isn't one.
The 8 speed was noticeable compared to the ZF that I had (have), but I think I'd get used to it pretty quickly.
Also think the Michelins must play a part compared to the original Dunflops.

I only posted this to congratulate those driving one, and to encourage those that aren't:
If you're on the fence, grab one of these before they disappear for 2013.

And for the record, I LOVED the '09 Gen!

As a 4.6 owner I appreciate the encouraging words.

Getting new tires on Saturday. Still have the original Dunlop @ 31k miles. Maybe I'm used to BMW's too much, but the ride & handling in the Genesis isn't a big deal to me at all. I'm trying to think of a complaint and all I can come up with is the passenger seat not going up and down.

TJ, what tire have you decided as a replacement?

I am still riding on the org. Dunlaps with around 22,000 miles. Measured the tread depth across all 4 tires (outside, middle and inside tread) and they indicate a depth of 6/32 to 7/32 accross the tire. I will most likely replace tires around 4/32 tread depth.

Thpught I would add a comment. Check this link for the tire test re: Kumho, Bridgestone, Michelin. I picked the Serenity tire because of the performance on wet track, very impressive. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/chartDisplay.jsp?ttid=112

I put on the new General GMAX ultra high performance all season. It sharpened up the steering and tracks great. Happy with them.

As a FL driver, I went with Michelin Pilot Super Sports and could not be happier. Quiet, soft, no tire pull, take corners like a slot car, and I got them for a grand. Excellent summer tire.
