Tire replacement recommendation

Hey guys,
I'ave had my 07' G35X for about 10 months now and I recently discovered it's time for new tires. Now I'm not particularly enamored of the OEM Goodyears so I'd like some suggestions on better than OEM all weather replacements.

Thanks,
RG

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S is my recommendation, they'll never let you down...Gary

I'm all about the continental extremecontact dws's. I've had them on two of my cars and loved them and haven't had any issues.

I've got them on the rear and am impressed so far. I noticed less availability of them lately?

I've also got a set of the Conti's on my car and love them. It's not the sportiest tire but the low noise and good ride comfort make great for a daily driver.

Ditto on the DWS's. I don't have them on my G (yet), but I had them on my Audi A4 for the last two years. Nice ride and quiet.

Are you looking for a summer tire, or an all season?

DWS do well in rain/snow but the sidewall softness kills it, steering response goes to ****. Listen to gary c. I have always been a fan of Falken tires im gonna ditch these DWS and go with the Falken Pt-722's

discount tire stopped carrying the dws, they came with a 50000 mile warranty which is rare on a 19 inch tire

Expect for the Michelin pilot sport a/s but those are some high dollar tires in any size

If *I* were looking for new tires right now, I'd go with michelin pilot super sports. I run a dedicated winter tire, so the best rubber goes on during spring/summer/fall.

That would explain it. I bought mine there and was super impressed with the service and value. Sucks that they won't carry them any more.

DT rocks all hardcore. I ran over a screwdriver in my truck at the track....went to a local DT and they hooked me up at half price cause they couldn't fix it and didnt have a tire with raised white letters to match.
