OK, tire buying time. Have done the search bit, but
Still have some questions. IS250AWD, and looking for all season, performance tires. Have see reference to the PS2's and Kumho's, still looking for more choices. Since we encounter snow conditions, and often run the mountain passes between Western and Eastern Washington (state), I need a tire that works well in both summer and winter. Has anyone had experience with the Falken Ziex ZE-912, or with the Nitto Neo Gen ZR brands? Also, anyone running Zexius XI-427 tires?
Appreciate the help!

just through some yokohama Avids on the car, and it is 10 times better then the dunlops, in the wet and dry and they ride a lot better. remember just because a tire may be more expensive doesn't mean it's better all the time.

Nittos suck, Kumhos really suck, yokos are over rated.
Get the the Goodyears, they are great tire, especially for the money. If money is not an option I would get the PS2s, but they are not an all season tire.

Ditto that. I've had Nittos, Kumhos and Yokos..none were good.

Although there is no snow here, I have Goodyear Eagle F1 All-Seasons, and I am happy with the dry and wet traction. They are Ultra High Performance All-Season tires, so I dunno how well they'd do in snow though.

Thanks for the inputs, appreciate it.
Looks to be between Goodyears and the Falkens right now. My last experience with the Goodyears on our RX was less than ideal, only lasted 18k miles. Hoping that someone here has tried the Falkens and can report on how well they do in snow, wet, and dry.

This is a good question for member Brian231 (Brian)...He has ContiSport if I am correct and has the same model as you. He swears by them thru all the lovely weather we see in Chicago....I am sure he will chime in and tell you more. If not send him a PM. I know he got them from Discount tire!
