Default All Season Tire Opinions

I am looking to get some replacement tires for a 2008 350z I picked up a few months ago. It is a touring eidion and has the stock wheels. I have seen some recomendations in this fourm but they are mostly for summer tires. Do you have any recomendations for all seasons?

Why do you need all seasons? If you are driving in cold weather and/or snow you should really have quality winter/snow tires. (I have Bridgestone Blizzaks for winter)

And then have summer tires for the good weather to be able to take advantage of everything your Z has to offer.

I have exactly the same model and just picked up the new Cooper RS-3S (Summer) and it's incredible. If you want all season, they have the RS-3A.
Read this article:
Note the how well they both performed. In the wet, they BOTH did well. If you're going to see a lot of wet and some snow, then I'd go with the all season.

I’m running Continental Extreme Contact DWS (245/40-18” F and 245/45-18” R) and really like these tires. Continental classifies the tire as “Ultra High Performance All-Season.”

The tire is relatively quiet (more so than summer performance tires) and very comfortable. The sidewalls are fairly soft (that is why it is so comfortable), but my Z handles OK with these tires. The tire grips very well on wet roadways, and is adequate in moderate snow. It’s not great in heavy snow or on frozen roadways covered in ice.

In summary, all season tires are a compromise, and this tire is no exception. The tire’s advantage is that it’s adequate on dry roadways, excellent on wet roads, and can be used in mild snow conditions.

I’m sure it’s fine for winter driving in Virginia.
