All Season Tires Recommendations

JARblue - I didn't know if they will outperform them or not. Just asking/looking for options. BTW - I had the DWS on my G35 Coupe before I traded it

BTW - I had the DWS on my G35 Coupe before I traded it in on the Z. They are great in the snow and I really like the tire - just not the treadwear. They have a 50K mileage warranty (25K for the staggered rears) and I will probably get about 12K out of the rears and 25K out of the fronts. And no, I do not race, drift, or track the car. It is a dd and I drive mostly conservatively, except for the occasional stoplight challenge and carbon blowing out session. I agree on the AS/3 - probably a good choice, but a bit more than I want to spend at the moment. Thanks for the input everyone.
Anyone have any experience with the Coopers or Generals? I have had people with other vehicles say the Generals are decent, but I would prefer someone with a Z to share their feelings on them before I jump on the GMax bandwagon.

Then I will reiterate. I would not sacrifice performance for tread wear. And I would not put either of the tires you suggested on my Z

I'm sure those tires will work just fine - they're round and made of rubber. But I just don't like the idea of going cheap on the only part of the car that touches the ground. The point at which I can't afford to put quality performance tires on the Z is the point at which I sell it.
Brendan and SterlingDrive like this.
