I'm in the market for new tires so I was hoping to get some feedback from you guys experience. I'm looking for some good all season tires for my 05' G35 on which I'm still running stock wheels on. I had some Hankook Ventus V12 Evo which were great except for the road noise.

I've had almost every quality tire on my cars and the only tire that never let me down are Michelin's. Go to www.thetirerack.com check out the Michelin all season tires making sure the one you chose has a UTQG between 240 & 300 (wear rating) which will give you at least 30K miles of wear and still perform well. I've never had a Michelin tire that made noise....ever!

i had ventus v12 from hankook... i didnt like them at all.

I have nitto nt 555s now and i love them. You might want to look into Nitto NeoGen. i havent tried their allseasons personally but Nitto make a quality tire.

I used to throw kuhmo Ecstas on my stockers... they were a good bang for your buck all season.

My Yokohama AD08's have seen a little over 10K miles now and I don't have any complaints. On smooth pavement their quite, good grip, and have a stiff sidewall.

Michelin's are always a good bet. I have Continental ExtremeContact DWS which are real quiet, but the sidewall is a little soft. My brother uses General G-Max's on his V36 sedan and they seem to be a real good balance between confort and sport.

If you can afford it, Michelin Pilot Super Sports. You will not regret your decision.

Awesome tires. I replaced the V12s with the Invos and will never look back.

I've been running Nitto INVO's front and Nitto 555's rear for almost 20K miles and have no complaints at all...I would say look at Nitto for sure, quality tire manufacturer!

But then again, I live in AZ..we pretty much only have 2 seasons, summer and a hint of winter

hankook v12's are max performance summer tires... are you looking for the same or real all season tires?

I've tried the kumho ecsta spt (UHP), sumitomo htrziii (MP), and hankook rs3 (EP), and liked all of them. I really liked the sumitomo and they are pretty cheap comparatively. the kumhos though, at least came in the stock size for the sedan (235/45/18).

I would have gotten the sumitomos again, but they're not easy to get a hold of, getting some nitto nt05's on monday, can't wait to test them out at the track. was able to get a decent deal or else I would have gone for the sumitomos off tire rack. They have $60 off set of 4 right now till friday, super good deal.
