Yoko YK580's or Conti DWS
Looking at both of these as replacements for my 2005 G35x sedan. I live in Chicago so I typically get all-seasons having AWD as well.
Heard great things about the DWS's, except for some remarks about soft sidewalls.
Not many comments on the 580's, but the few I saw were very positive.
I am not an aggressive driver so the sidewall issue may not be so critical for me. I also had the previous version YK520's and I was ok with them, not expecially crazy.
Any comments from other folks here?

I put some Continental DWSes on my sister's Civic and after test driving the car with them, I can say that I was a fan. She was on some worn out Bridgestones before and her car felt a lot better with the new tires. They were pretty quiet and the grip you get for an all-season is pretty good.

neal, the conti's are supposed to be pretty decent in light snow/slush. Can you define light snow?
i am in md and we have a decent chance of snow every winter. I dont want to purchase straight snow tires due to A: price and B: in 4 months id have to take them off and purchase a new set of tires.
I wouldnt be going to work in massive amounts of snow anyway but i know the summer tires i have now have me fish taling in so much as a snow flurry. Id like to have piece of mind that i wouldnt be stranded at the first snow flake lol. How would these fare in say 1-3 inches of snow?
How are they in rain when it comes to hydroplaining ?

That tire would work fine in 1-3" of snow. The pre-plowed rural roads I drive at 5:30 am with 5"+ not so much, but nor will any all season tire really. If all you see is plowed and 1-3" you'll be ok in those. Have no complaints on wet either. Enough void in that tire to evacuate water pretty easily.
