Time for new tires. Down to:

Bridgestone RE960 A/S
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S
Continental DWS

I don't put many miles year on the car (less than 5000 miles per year). The Conti's are like $220 less than the others. I'm leaning toward the DWS but would love to hear opinions from those here.

Thanks

 

I just got the DSW's 3 weeks ago. Have to say am not all that thrilled with them. Price wise it's great but I do wish I spent a bit more and gotten a quieter tire and one that was not so rough on the road. (Keep in mind I live in NYC so the roads aren't all that great to begin with). Although have to admit that the tire did perform well in the rain yesterday. I think for my next tire I will splurge a bit more in hopes of getting something with a more "luxury" type of ride.

 

Have you considered the Goodyear Eagle GT? Had them on my GS300 and considered them a very good tire for the price.

 

I hadn't considered Goodyear. I went in thinking Bridgestone or Michelin and then my tire guy brings up the DWS. He thinks they are great tires and a great price. Maybe it's a great tire because of the price. After tax it's a savings of like $60 per tire.

 

You should consider the following as well.
Good number of satisfied members with those tires.

Hankook Ventus Evo V12

 

Of those choices, I think the Continentals are probably the cheapest. They'll probably last the longest too. I think their treadwear rating is 400-500.

 

I'm a V12 believer. Grip like hell when you need them to. Comfy when needed, and always very quiet.

 

In my experience, Yokohama is the best bet.

Check this out

I have seen quite a few infiniti g35/37 wearing those....

 

Unless I'm mistaken, the Hankook are summer tires. I'm looking for all season tires.

 

I like the DWS had that on my old AWD IS and great tires for the buck as for noise i really dont hear any since i always have the radio on tread wear is like 540 also

 

michelin out of the three.. michelin ps2 out of the question.

 

the hankook are all season tires. and i would suggest you to look into them, they are a better deal than all three tires you listed when comparing prices and performance

 

have gotten awesome mileage out of pilot sports a/s but conti's are hands down favorite because can't beat UTQG of 540 and price comparison with any other tire

 

Unless I'm looking at the wrong tire tirerack shows them as summer tires.
