Lightbulb AWD Tire Recommendation

It's about that time where I need to replace my tires. Looking for good all season tires. I am eyeing the two listed below... anyone have recommendations? I don't mind using the stock 235/40R19 or a beefier 245/40R19.

1) CINTURATO P7 ALL SEASON PLUS - SIZE: 235/40R19
2) PILOT SPORT A/S 3+ - SIZE: 245/40ZR19

I vote the Pirelli's...they'll give you a nice balance between comfort and performance, price and they last long. I think they are two very different tires you are comparing though - the Michelin's with the ZR rating means they are built for performance, handling, grip - its thats what you prefer than definitely go with those.

You can't really go wrong with either tire just depends on what you're looking for (disclaimer: i don't have direct experience with the Pilot Sports since 2013 when I had them on my RWD GS430).

I'm kind of in the same boat, but i bought a used set of 18 inch GS wheels, and some lightly used Michelin Blizzak winter tires 245/45/18 for them, I love how winter tires perform on days like today (snow and ice). People are always trying to get rid of their winter tire set on Craigslist and Facebook.
This will free me to shop for performance summer tires for my 19 inch wheels for when my OEM tires get down to the wear line!

I got Yokohama Advan all-seasons for my 2014 IS350 and I'm pretty happy with them. Not the best tire, but not the worst.

Hows the tread life on DWS06? Do you use them 3 or 4 seasons?

I went with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3+ and I love them. I have a set for sale if you're interested. I have two 245/40/19 and two 275/35/19 since I have the RWD. Only reason I didn't use them was because soon after, I bought 20 inch Vossen wheels so I got the same tire but in a size 20

I have yokohama yk740 gtx on mine, but I'd probably go with the Pilot sports.

I am looking at tires as well. Anyone considering Bridgestone?

I am in NY, Do you use summer or all-season tires?

I am in NJ and I only use all-season tires. Honestly have not come across a situation where I need to swap out summer tires for winter tires and vice versa.

I’m rolling 20’s on nunkang noble sport 25 245/35r20 rear 275/30/20. But also run a second set on 225/35r20 and 255/30r20 for a stretched look.
