I'm not voting because I'm not a fan of all-seasons, but a friend just put Envigors on his 08 G35xs and he's very happy with them.

If you're putting these on a G35... the ENVigors, HANDS down. The other 2 don't belong on a sports/luxury car. They belong on Minivans and Camry's.

I've got 12k miles on my ENVigors on my 07 G35 and they are nice. They've been extremely quiet, evacuate water great and have been very capable in the snow and ice of northern Ohio. ENVigors were my second choice to the Conti Extreme Contact DWS (which you can't find anywhere) but the have lived up to all that I'd expect.

I voted for the triple treads since my friend put them on his 03 RWD G and they actually worked very well. His car carved up the twisties with ease and plowed through snow.

I'll tell you what though, check out the Conti Extreme Contact DWS. Thats the tire i'd get.

You might also want to consider the Sumitomo HTR A/S P01 tire. Tirerack ranked them #1, tied for first with the Yokohama tires you are considering. I purchased them a couple of weeks ago and have about 600 miles on them, live in NYC and they have been great in both snowstorms. Also handle great on dry land. Dont let the low price fool you, they are awesome.

Conti DWS. Read my review. There are a couple more threads on here about the Conti DWS too. Fantastic all season traction, that really doesn't sacrifice too much dry traction.

Run a wider size. My size is 225/50/18, I went with 245/45/18.

A 245/50/17 is 0.4% difference over a 225/55, I'd go that route.

It wont mess up anything if i do with a different size tire on the same rim?

I have found 2 other tires that get great reviews that sound good:

Michelin Primacy MXV4
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus

Those Contis seem great as well but i would have to run a 235/50/17 or 245/50/17
