    Grand Prix GXP Tires

    My parents just picked up a used 2007 Grand Prix GXP that needs tires. Was looking at the Yokohamas, seem like a decent tire at a good price. Anybody have any experience with these, or can recommend a similar tire? Car will be driven in snow this winter btw. Thanks!

    I have Yokohama S.drive 's on my Comp G and I am very impressed, although they may be wearing kinda quick. They are summer tires though.

    which Yokahama tire are you looking at? I am running BF Goodrich G-force T/A KDWs on my GXP and I love them....but they definitely aren't winter tires...If I were going to go with an all season tire to drive it in the winter I would have gone with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires

    I think that Jake used to live somewhere with a "real winter" and actual snow.

    Check out Bridgestone g019 tires. had them on my 94 cutlass coupe and never had a problem in the snow. They replaced the bridgestone g009 line. Which I had on my 01 Intrigue and also never had a problem in the snow. I think they handle better wet than dry also.

    I just bought an 07 GXP, and it came with fresh Hankook Ventus tires on all four wheels. So far, they have awesome grip and good noise isolation. I would also recommend the Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position. I have a set on my 2008 tC and they have been excellent as well.

    I would recommend the Grid G019's as well, just make sure the car has a proper alignment as well!, otherwise they will cup like a mofo.

    The RE960AS PP would be a better bet however, but the cost is more as they are an upper end tire.

    I second the recommendation on the G019s. Had a set on my old I35 and they stuck like glue in most conditions.

    You can never go wrong with Michelins. The couple times I have switch to some other kind of tire I have regretted it. Now I stick with them and have always been pleased with there winter and summer performance.
