Default Tire recommendation

Looking for a tire recommendation. Live in nj so all season performance tires.
I currently have general tires which I like but I find them noisy.


Please advise..

I recommend getting a set of cheap winter tires and putting some nice summer tires on your wheels. All seasons will never have the grip that summer performance tires will give you.

My summer tires are BFGoodrich G-Force KDW2 and my winter tires are Dunlop Winter Sport M3. You were mentioning your tires being noisy, in which I would not get the G-Force since they are a bit noisy. I have heard great things about the Michelin Pilot Super Sports and Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec and Dunlop Direzza ZII.

Now that it's spring it is the perfect time to find a set of winter wheels. Got my set on 04 Touring wheels for $200 plus shipping a few years back in the spring time.

+1 on using winter tires during the winter and summers during the spring/summer/fall.
I currently use Bridgestone Blizzak tires for the winters. I love them and would recommend them. A lot of guys like the Hankook V12s for summer use. Decent performance with a reasonable cost.

That is the setup I use as well. 18" Blizzak for winter, 19" V12's for summer. No TPMS for the winters just have to deal with the dash light.

I'd agree on the V12s for a great dd tire that will give decent life and handling on streets. A nice set of dedicated snows for the winter and you'll be all set!

Yes and buy from Tirerack. You won't get a better deal or better service anywhere else.
