Default Tires?

Which brand & model of tires do you have onyour Jagright now, and which set would you say has been your best/favorite?

So far, I have had 3 sets of tires on my X:

1) Stock Contis - What else could you expect from stock tires?
2) Nitto Neo Gen - 215/35/19 - Tires were too narrow for the wheel and made the car feel unstable.
3) Mastercraft Avenger ZHP - 225/35/19 - The most bang for your buck! Improved handling, look, reduced noise, & comfort. They were actually $10 bucks cheaper than the Nittos. These tires are so sticky.

What are you guys running?

I have Dunlop DZ101's. Best tire for the buck, on sale for 90 bucks, orginal price 180 i think. Great summer/wet tire. NOT RECOMMENDED IN THE SNOW. You must have a set of winter tires.

Fabulous summer tires, excellent corning and at high speed.

You lucky duck nineball! I hate that white stuff they put down for that frozen stuff! I have toyo proxes fz4's...the tread looks nice but they weren't that great for winter driving...hopefully for next year I can get a set of dunlop snow tires. My size is the same as stock 225/45zr17.

How good are those low profile snow tires?I know they make some in my wheel size; and would they be any good?

I live the Bay Area in California, so the weather isn't extreme. It will also be nice to show off my rims during the winter months (we stillhave days with sun and 70 degree weather in December, sorry!)and still drive out to the mountains in Lake Tahoe for some deep snow.

Should I get snow tires or throw my stock wheels back for the winter?
