Im looking for an all season grand touring tire or a performance tire..., standard specs of 235/45 r17
im a spirited driver with handling, little road noise & comfort and tread wear in mind... what are your tire suggestions? I live in South Carolina so snow isn't really an issue so mostly dry & wet but temps do drop below 40 a good bit in the winter...
I'm at the lower end of the price point... just cant spend 1000 on tires so any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!

now... off to replace taillight & put my bumper back on... a woman's work is never done!!!

 

Falken is a pretty good tire brand and a lot of us on the forum use them.They have great reviews and are comparatively cheaper than other major brand names. As for road noise, definitely not a Michelin but not horrible; just turn up the music!

 

Conti DWS is most popular among our customers. I also like Nexen N7000 if you want to save some dough.

 

i am in the same boat!
Any thoughts on the Maxxis MA-Z4S tires, was also looking at the Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS (very different tire, i know)

 

Conti DWS seem to be popular and the Bridgestone Potenza is supposed to be good as well.

 

Goodyear eagle GT, 400 tread wear 40,000 mile tire. around 150 to 170
each.

 

lol.. now i'm wondering if we went to the same tire kingdom to get NT555 recommended

 

Conti DWS has been the best overall mix for me. From the Falkens, I have MUCH better wet handling and treadwear, but it has a softer sidewall - when you go for a corner, it's a bit more floaty. That being said, it still has a decent amount of grip. I don't know where you live, but if the winter doesnt bring much snow, perhaps the conti DW is a good option too.

 

not impressed with motive... sending them back
