Default need all-weather hi-perf tires for 17" GS400

Hi:

I have a 1999 Lexus GS 400. Turns out that my BF Goodrich G-Force T/A KDWS's are shot after 3 years/25,000 miles (cupping, tread separation). Size is 235/45/17. They are mounted on BBS 17" rims- type RX. I hope that they don't give me a hassle at Merchant's/NTB/Tire Kingdom for warranty replacement.

Can somebody please recommend a good all-weather hi-performance tire, that is reasonably priced? I need reasonably good traction in the snow (the BFG's were pretty good in that respect).

Thanks,

Bill Boshnick

There are several choices you can consider for a high performance all season in the 235 45 17 size:

- Falken Ziex ZE-512 http://www.falkentire.com/tires_512.htm

- Pirelli PZero Nero M & S http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....e1=yes&place=6

- Toyo Proxes 4

- Avon Tech M550 A/S http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....e1=yes&place=0

- Sumitomo HTR+ (they are the maker of Falkens as well) http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....e1=yes&place=8

Call several tire shops or Tirerack to get your best prices. Good Luck!
