    I have the DWS's on the Rat and they have been great. Real good in rain and the little bit of snow I've been in they were real good and still able to do donuts in my parents neighborhood when I was back over Thanksgiving. I just could not resist I went round and round and round.
    They have worn perfect and since I'm not running auto cross they are a real good tire.

    Thank you everyone for the info and recommendations. Decided to go with the Bridgestone potenza pole positions and I'm pretty happy with em. Car rides nice and I definitely notice a difference in cornering. Thanks again. Love this forum

    I am considering Bridgestone RE 760 's for my G8 GT. It has Toyo Garit XK snow tires at the moment. They are noisy....

    Anybody else have the Bridgestone RE 760's ?

    Best tire I have had on my car lately is the Cooper Zeon rs3, I have the all season one but there is a summer only too. My friend runs them on his 011 mustang and swore by them, said all his mustang gt buddies use and love them. I tried the all season and I can floor my car in he rain, I love these tires and ill continue buying them till I cant! Hardly any wear after 6 months hard driving, was good in snow exceptional n the rain, grabs traction in dry as good as any tire I ever had. Good quiet easy riding tire no complaints at all and best of all the cheapest tire I ever had on my car.
    Decent also BFG comp II, and the General GMAX which was my go to tire....

    I like the performance and tread wear of the Conti DW. Very reliable grip on wet and dry roads.

    You can check any tire on tirerack under reviews. Can also just review tires used on a g8....great research tool. At least for tire brands they sell... No cooper's, which are by far the best all around least expensive traction in any condition and lasts longest tire.... On my car
