I just got my new gp replica rims in 17in. Ive been looking around for tires, mostly in bridgestone, but there website marketing is so good and pretty much contradict itself.

Im looking for a 205/45/17 high performing all season Non run flat tire. Any recommendations?

 

I like Conti DWS.

 

Michelin Pilot Sports is what I like. I have had them on 3 Mercedes and getting ready to put the second set on my JCW.

 

You have some options-

In 205/45-17 and All Season tires-

In Ultra High Performance AS tires:

The top two are worth checking out.

If you are willing to consider 215/45-17 which will work with stock suspension but not if you are lowered then-

Pirelli P7 has high ratings by owners.

 

Thanks Guys,

Im between the General G-MAX AS-03 and the Hankook Ventus S1 noble 2. From what I understand though is that the Continental owns General tire, so at the point I may just got with continental, who have a higher rating.

 

All three of those choices are fine. All are about 480-540 treadwear, essentially the same. All are light weight, 18-20 lbs each.

It may boil down to availability and price.
