Suugestion for tires for stock wheels

I have the stock 17" wheels on my G35 sedan and will be needing a new set of tires in next few months.
Currently I have the Bridgestone Turanza EL42, they are OK but seem to have some road noise.

What I am looking in tires in terms of comfort, noise and performance in this order. They need to be ALL SEASON

To get some improved performance and looks I am planning to go with the 235/50/17 instead of the 215/55/17 as they are almost same diameter.

My price range is around $600 for a set of 4.

Thanks for your input.

Re: Suugestion for tires for stock wheels

I really like my Pilot Sport A/S in the 135/50-17, but they'll cost you a bit more than your $600 limit. Worth it IMO, especially if you need decent all-weather traction.

I haven't tried them mself, but I've heard great things about the Falken ZE512 in the 225/50-17. Their rev's per mile on the specs sheets say they're closer to the OEM tires than other 225/50-17 from other manufacturers, so they'd be a good choice at a great price for a performance A/S tire.

Found a great price of $121 each incl Shipping and Tax from http://nctires.com/

The Acura Guys seem to really like the Ziex!

Gordgee,
Thanks for your input. I will seriusly consider it. I will see if I can get wheel works to match the price.

I wish I can find more selection in 235/50/17, I would hate to get the speedo calibrated etc.
