General Artics in the winter for me as well, can't go anywhere in snow without them here in the northeast.
For the rest of the year Continental Extremecontact DW's, their summer tire (dws's are all season)
Like them for their great traction, stopping power, quiet ride, and smoothness. Car is quiet as a mouse at 90-100mph. I can't comment on how they wear yet, I havn't had them long enough

General Altimax Arctic for winter. Great deep snow traction and ice traction. Sidewall a little soft but nothing to complain about.
ExtremeContact DW for summer. Great tire, quiet grip is superb wet and dry and wear is very very good.
What are you looking for in a tire? All season? Performance?

You can compare tires, read reviews, test info. Just select the vehicle and info it needs and start looking.

Hankook Ventus V12s for summer
General Altimax Arctic for winter
Yokohama S.Drives are good for the summer as well. I didnt like the Kumho Ecsta SPTs (summer tire). And the only all season tires Ive used were BF Goodrich G-Force Sport. They were ok.
An all season tire is great if you dont want two sets of wheels. But as the old saying goes -
Good at many things, great at none.

I'm also running the all-season Yokohama Envigors after reading good reviews on TireRack. We usually only get a little bit of snow here, so all-seasons work. Have been happy with the Yokos. I have the stock rims, so I got the 235/45/17 tires.

Whatever you do, don't get the Bridgestone like I did. I regreted wasting $87 each on them Potenzas which turned out to be road moaners
. www.tirerack.com has the best prices.

I just replaced my Bridgestone Potenza Grid 019 tires w/ 4 Conti Extreme Contact DWS & they ride GREAT! No noise, smooth ride, & felt very stable.

I loved the G019 grids on my accord, I know a lot of ppl cried about the road noise, but I'll take the good wet traction over low noise anyday

Disregard the rating numbers as they don't reflect the descriptions what everyone described.
My ears & senses are my final judge. And both of them said: IT'S TIME TO GIVE THE POTENZAS

Road noise is very subjective.
Some people complain that my car is a bit noisy, but Im used to it. Just how some people with lifted Jeeps are used to their off-road tires howling at them at anything faster then a crawl.

Noise has not become an issue as of yet; so, we'll see later on down the road.

When it came time to replace the MXM4's I went to the top shelf and shelled out for the Pilot Sport A/S Plus and upsized to 235/45/17.
They are a little on the loud side but everything else about the tire drowns that noise out completely.

Hi, new member here.
Thread is helpful as I am replacing tires on my 2007 TL-S and was about to go for the Sumitomo HTR A/S PO1, good price and rated high by Consumer Reports. BUT nobody is mentioning them here. Low noise is important, city/country aggressive driver (used to race cheopo qtr. mile track in my Walter Mitty mode.) I daily city commute about 25 miles RT, then off/up to wisconsin on weekends on the interstate with all the Nascar wannabes. enough--looking forward to learning. 70k on car, runs great.

They get excellent reviews. The sidewall is a bit soft though.

it's a car-drive it
in NC tire thread has to be no less than 2/32 to pass the annual state inspection. I am now in the process of researching my next tires since the yoko avid 4vs tires have been discontinued. The tire place told me I had more time to decide. I do not live in a snow area.
