    Ok, so I'm due up for some new tires in the near future. I currently have a set of Nitto NeoGen's 205 or 215 (cant exactly remember without looking) 45/17.

    I love the way these handle, especially on pavment in the rain, but I am wanting to possibly switch to another tire. I see a lot of talk about the BF Goodrich G-Force Sport Comp, Michelin Pilot Super Sport A/S, or possibly just sticking with the Nitto. Any opinions on the others?

    Since you listed all season tires, the continental DWS Extreme Contacts have really really good wet traction, also really good snow capability too, if that is even a factor considering GA.

    They also seem to last a really long time.

    I have a good friend with the A/S's on her m3 and it seems to do well also

    My car came with Firestone Wide Oval Indy 500 tires and they seemed ok. I got a couple of nails in one of them so I had to replace them. After much searching, I went with the Bridgestone RE 760 Sports. They are ranked at the top of the Ultra High Performance category on Tire Rack. I had them on at AMP when it rained ALL day, and they seemed to work very well. Took them back to AMP in the dry and they also worked very well. They seemed to be a good compromise on performance and price for what I would use them for. Mostly DD and some track time. Plus they have a pretty high tread wear rating.

    FYI, I can get a 15% discount at Sears if anyone is interested for tires. That is where I bought mine. You basically would buy gift cards at a discounted price. So, $800 worth of gift cards would cost you $680. Then you use the gift cards to buy the tires. That is how I got mine and it saved me a couple hundred bucks! (I work for Turner Broadcasting, so we get a lot of discounts)
