I am looking at new tires for my 2007 G35x sedan. I am not a Goodyear fan and do not want to put the OEM RS-A back on. I have been looking at the Michelin Primacy MXV4, but am worried they might take away some of the handling traits, but I also need to handle snow, ice and rain(midwest weather). Any ideas on a good treadwear rated tire?

 

Put Goodyear Eagle ResponsEdge V-rated tires on my 2003 G35 5/AT coupe at 35K miles. Have gone through two Chicago winters, as daily driver, rarely activating ABS/ VDC. ResponsEdge offers improved ride and matches handling compared to RS-A.

At 19K miles have used only 10% of tread. Has treadwear rating of 440 70% more than RS-As. These come with a 50K mile warranty (besides standard tread life warranty) and a 30 day trial period for refund of tire price.

For even better ride and greater tread life Goodyear offers the Assurance TripleTred (in H speed rating) with tread wear rating of 720!! My sis placed these on her 2003 BMW 525 and she swears it has transformed her car. Extremely quiet and excellent handling. Come with 80K mile warranty!!

Had Michelin MXV4 Primacy tires (V-speed rated) installed on my ex-fiance's 2005 Volvo S40 (replaced the OEM MXV4 s under warranty due to shifted belt).

Handling with Primacy tires provides more confidence (less understeer) with no loss in ride and winter grip is even better than OEM MXV4. Rated Tread life on the V-rated Primacy is 620 (60K mile warranty). Comparable to TripleTred.
