Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22s on the stock 17s which will be my winter shoes. These, by the way, are the most amazing winter tires I have ever owned. I highly recommend them.

I haven't decided on summer wheels and tires yet.

Yokohama Advan 18" Summer - standard on GS350 RWD. Mediocre at best - Michelin Pilot Sports are coming soon.

Same here - came with car and will probably switch out in favor of something better/longer lasting when it becomes time to do so.

245/40/18 Continental ContiSportContact 2

My favorite tires are Michellin PS2... But, these were cheaper and not uni-directional... so you can rotate them old fassion way!!
Btw... It's OEM tires for new BMW M5s.

Running the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 and loving them. Had slushy snow here yesterday and didn't have a lick of problems (love that wet weather capability) ;-))
