I have toyo proxies on my gts wheels I don't "love them" but I can honestly say they are the best tires I've ever owned. Good tracton, comfort, low noise level and great tread wear. Haven't driven them in the snow yet though.

i have yokohama avid vs4's. they are really nice. kind of pricey but have very good traction ratings.
you could get the neo gens as well. those are popular --------------------  1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |

i had bf goodrich g-Force kdw tires when i still had my gt-s rims. imo they had too much grip.
 perhaps too good for a stock motor.. but oh man going fast through turns = fun!

I like my Goodyear Eagle GT's. Mostly b/c they handle soo well in the rain as well as on dry pavement (need to be ready for rain here).

We're all gonna come up with different answers to this question but for my $$$ I love the Yokohama Parada Spec II's for the twisties and the launch they provide. Perfect tire for that wheel IMO.

For an all-season tire, they aren't too beefy looking, yet arn't a low profile tire. I might look into some Falkens next, but hopefully that won't be for a nother few years since these are rated at lasting 50k miles (depending on how you drive, of course). -------------------- "A true car enthusiast can see the potential in any car"
