Default All Season Tires

Can anybody recommend good All-Season Tires for the 350z? My factory installed Bridgestone Potenzas are almost worn out.

Bridgestone RE960 A/S Pole Positions!

I had them on my Audi A4 Quattro and they were great. The 960's were the only tires the quattro didn't eat. Had them one the Audi for about two years and wore evenly. Great in the rain and snow not as sticky in the dry but good balance.

When my OEM's wear out I getting 960's. Also, they are made in Japan.

In Colorado, we face all type of weather and for the past two years I've used Nitto Neo Gens year 'round. They've held up well (245/40-18 F and 275/40-18 R) and offer good dry and wet weather performance. While they are M&S rated, I can't recommend them for the type of snowstorms we get. They have got me home in a light snowstorm, but just barely.

So I can recommend the Neo Gens on price, durability and performance!

I have the Falken Ziex-ZE912 All Season Tires. No complaints so far... 40K treadlife warranty, very good traction wet and dry, haven't had any snow here to try them on... and they're quiet...

I just bought the Goodyear F1 All Seasons. I have little doubt they will perform noticeably better than the stock Potenza 050s 'Except' for hard cornering. I can definitely feel the increase sway from the softer sidewalls.

My friend has Goodrich KDWs (not all season tires) on his Z yet doesn't notice the sway driving on my new tires as much as I do. Of course I thought his car felt a little loose and now I surmise it was because of the difference in our tires. My new tires still seem quieter than his.
I'm amazed at how much tires can affect cornering performance in the Z.

Hopefully, the increased use of my Z this winter will off-set the loss in dry weather, hard cornering. Time will tell if I go to 2 sets of tires in the future.
