Replacing stock potenzas, what to get, some advice here???

Well I have 20K on my 06' coupe and I'm going to be replacing the Potenzas anyday now. Which I can say I wasnt to happy with. I am from New York so we do get some crappy weather and snow sometimes. What tires should I get next. I'm going to get what you guys recommend. Its all up too you. Thanks.

Get anything except for the same Potenzas!!!

I would go for the Pilot Sport PS2s. They are very light, around 6 and 8 lbs lighter than the stock Potenzas front and rear. That is a huge difference in unsprung weight!

Michelin PS2 is the best match for a G35.
The Toyo Proxes are good too.

What do you know, someone else knows that Bridgestones are worthless!
Someone needs to write an article on what to look for when buying tires
and what to avoid........I'll PM Dave O at NissanSport. Michelins are very
good tires.....and my choice!

I'm thinking of going with Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 on my coupe. Car and Driver rated them #1 in a test.
