I need to replace the front tires on my 2006 G35 Coupe and am looking for suggestions. I recently purchased the car and it has new Renkin Raptors on the back. Tires are stock size (225/50-17 front and 235/50-17 on rear). I am looking for a nice and fairly quiet ride as I do a lot of highway driving, and still maintain good wet traction and tire life. I would also like to keep the price at/below about $150/tire. Thank you!

Check Tirerack for ratings.

I replaced my Yoko S-Drives with Conti DWS last summer on my 04 coupe.
They seem to be a very nice tire so far, however I liked the way the S-Drives performed at the limits better.....stiffer sidewalls & more predictable at the limits.
But, I wanted something that would go in the snow too.

I just put Conti DWS on my wife's G35X too. Our local Nissan has a buy 3 get 1 for 1 dollar deal. Was 550 out the door. Plus, I had them do an alignment for 49, so was actually 60 out the door. If you don'[t ever encounter snow, would look at the DW or the S-Drive.

Conti DWS are good all-season and I have them on both my G's currently. My co-worker has a '04 G sedan with Kumho ASX and he loves them. I had the ASX on my Maxima and they seemed like a good daily tire.

Another vote for the Continental DWS or DS depending on if you see snow.

You mean DW, right? ;)
