Greetings:

I narrow my choice down to the following all seasons tires from Tirerack for my 09 G37x:

Goodyear Assurance ComforTred Touring US, $157 / Tires, $80 rebate set of 4, $47.40 Road hazard.

Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum KR, $125 / Tires, Road hazard included.

Michelin Primacy MXV4 $185 / Tires, $53 Road hazard.

My driving is pretty aggressive, I worn out the OEM tires in about 2 years. I like quiet ride yet it should handle well in turns and have a good grip in a couple inches of snow. Per TireRack reviews, the Kumho seems to be the best value and measure almost up to the other twos. However, it is made in Korea. If it were you which one will you pick?

Your comment and recommendation are greatly appreciated.

 

I'd consider the Contential extreme sport contact. I just so happened to put a set on my wife's RX400h. I opted for more of a street M&S tire as she never goes off road and this is more of a performance oriented tire.

Most of those are touring tires.

I'm also running the Michelin Pilot Sport all seasons on my G. A little more expensive but I've liked them so far.

 

Unfortunately, the continental doesn't seem to exist in 225x55x17 at Tirerack.

 

Check the other choices in the test. The michelins I use come in that size. There are tons of choices. Again, if you drive aggressive, I'd look into the Ultra High Performance All Seasons vs just the touring type tire.

Just go to TR and punch in the size or your car and research the choices.

 

I'd have to go with the Michelins. They compare very well to what I'm running on my non-X - the Bridgestone Turanza Serenity.

I love the 'Stones. Great performance they are extremely quiet - it makes the G ALMOST reduce the level of cabin noise to what you might expect of a car at it's price point.

 

None of the tires mentioned are really sport based, but instead a higher speed rated touring all season option. If it's in the budget I would put the Michelin up front. The LX is a very close second for less money, but not quite as good across the board as the Primacy.
