All Season Tire Rec?

Moving out to Cali and am looking for new All Season tires for my 2012 G37X Sedan. Tire specs are 225/50/18 with the upgraded wheel package. I’ve heard Michelin’s are great but I’m open to any and all recommendations. I have a pretty lengthy highway commute everyday (1.5 hrs) and would classify myself as a spirited driver. Looking to find something that will last, is relatively quite and has all around good handling. Thanks in advance for the rec’s!

NorCal or SoCal?

I have BFGoodrich G Force Comp 2 A/S in 245/45/R18 and I love them. They are a super comfortable tire, quiet on the highway, and stick really well for an all season. you get a lot of good steering feel and feedback from them, and do well in warm climates. Steering response is pretty immediate with them, although I can't say how well they will hold up as I've only put about 5,000 miles on mine. I have not found a local road that I've reached the tire's limit yet, although on the track a summer tire would probably be better. If you are staying at the same size (225/50/18) you will have a slightly higher sidewall, so that will aid in ride comfort. I would highly recommend them if you're looking for a quality all-season, as they are really affordable too.

Sacramento area. Will probably be taking a few trips to Tahoe in it.

I took it into a shop today and turns out my alignment on the front is bad. They told me my back tires are in decent shape but the front are bad. Since it is a G37X all-wheel-drive model, will I need two new tires or four new tires?

Thanks for the info. At $150 a tire on TireRack.com, that could be a good middle ground.

Just 2 new tires. All 4 should be the same size and style for AWD, but not necessary to change them all at the same time.

Move the rears to the front, stick 2 new tires on the rear, and rotate every 5000 miles

I aligned my car at 10k miles and it was off enough it bothered me. I pulled toe into dead middle which brought camber to middle as well. Upsizing to 245 and 275 also helped
