Needing to replace the tires on our G37x sedan within the next couple of months, the factory Goodyears are about shot at 28k miles. Have heard great things about these Michelins. The car will not get dedicated snow tires as it is never really driven in over an inch of snow, if that. According to Tire Rack the Pirelli P7s are good also, but they came from the factory on my 2015 VW and they are just ok, not great. Any input would be appreciated.

 

Continental DWS and the Michelin Pilot A/S both get good reviews. Both will be huge upgrades over those horrendous Goodyear RS-As.
I'd check around and see what the best price is including rebates and go from there. Send a PM to Neal@Tirerack and see what he can do.
The BFG G-Force Comp2 A/S also get good reviews too.
Here's a good link on some of the newer UHP A/S tires

Sorry to piggy back on this but I'm looking to replace the stock goodyears on my G37x Sedan as well(225/55/17). I was considering both the Continental DWSs and the Michelin Premier A/S. Both tires are pretty much equal in performance based on the tests on the tirerack... the Continentals have slightly better grip in the snow and dry (i live in Chicago) but the Michelins have slightly better comfort and last longer (60k tread rating, vs unknown for the Contis though it sounds like most people get far less than 60k out of them). I had already made up my mind to buy the continentals because they were almost 170 bucks cheaper on a set of 4. But Michelin has a 70 rebate right now so the difference in price on a set of 4 is more like $100 now. I've never owned Continentals, but I have had Michelins. I have Michelin LTX/2 on my wifes SUV now and they are great, very quiet, great in the snow and they don't seem to wear (still look literally like new after almost 2 years). In my area Sears has the continentals for 131 each, so $524 for a set of 4 plus install. The Michelins are 173 ea at costco, so $622 after the $70 rebate... and the install is a little cheaper at costco than sears.
I'm curious to hear what you guys think is the best value... It'd be even better if you have experience with either one of these.
Thank you!

 

Hi derekjl, I had the Michelin Pilot A/S 245/50/17 (same height as the stock 225's, just 20mm wider) for about 35K and I'd give them a 9 or so. I'm running same size Pirelli CINTURATO P7 ALL SEASON PLUS now. I'd give them a 9 also, the dry grip might not be 100% as good as the Michelin's. But, dang are they quiet. Tread pattern on the Michelin's looks more aggressive to me. Pirelli's are like 70K warranty. I'd buy either one again. PM if you have a question.

 

OP here, we ended up going with Dunlop Signature HP tires. They aren't installed yet, but Tire Rack had a special on them for $93 a piece, AND free road hazard, AND a $50 Visa card. Can't beat that. I will report back on how they feel, my main concern is in the snow, which they rate excellent in. They were on par with the Michelins for 1/2 the price. If I get 25k miles out of them I'll be happy with the purchase.

 

i have michi's on my car now bought them when i bought the car. my only gripe about michi's is lil bit of road noise...but i dont care for it now after the Audio install....cant hear **** lol

 

The Dunlop was a overall good choice! Michelin's strong point with the Premier is how great it is in the wet. Actually molded at a shallower tread depth than others, yet has better wet traction than other competitors with full depth. Amazingly they retain that we traction as the tire wears unlike others.
