All-season tire recommendations

Hi,

I have a 2010 g37s sedan. You guys have any all-season tire recommendations? Was thinking about getting another summer pair but dont' want to die hydroplaning

Thanks!

I just Bought the ultra high performancE all season kuhmo ecsta 4x. Love them. They have been flawless on wet and dry and was surprised on how well they worked in snow

I'd go with the Kumho Ecsta 4X or the General G-MAX AS-03. I assume both are available in your size.

The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus would be my first choice if money was no object.

summer tires are probably better in rain than all-seasons.

^^Rain competency depends on which summer tire you're talking about. I'm using the General AS-03 all-seasons on my G37xS and have been impressed so far.

There have been many threads on tires.. but some say the DWS is a bit soft in the sidewalls. You don't think so? That's about the only reason I have struck it from my list.

My buddy has the dws. They are a fantastic tire, but when it comes to driving aggressively, he says he has more rOll than usual, and that the side walls are soft

I don't think the DWS comes in the stock front size. The OP has an "S". So unless he runs 245-45/18 all around ...

I'd probably get the Mich Sport AS+ like TinsleyC said.

I went from Potenza RE960 to Continental ProContacts DWS to finally the new Yokohama YK580. I would highly recommend the Yokohama YK580. Awesome tires in the dry and wet conditions. You will not be disappointed.
