What Tire Do You Have?
-Performance in dry/rain/snow? -Thread Life? -Price? -Noise? -Ride Comfort? -Other comments? Here is what I have: -Dunlop SP Sport 01. 235/50/18 front, 255/45/18 rear. -Performance in dry, excelent. Rain, excelent. Snow, not much experience in snow for a good review. -Thread Life, I'm at 32k miles and is about to need new tires. -Price, tirerack sales them at around $211 front, $240 rear. -Noise, not bad but haven't had anything different on the car to compare it to -Ride comfort, haven't had anything different on the car to compare it to.

BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW2
BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW2: 235/50-18
Only had them for about 600 miles BUT they grip IMO like you wouldn't believe. Had stock wheels/tires on my X3 for about 1000 miles. Pure summer tire with some good wet handling characteristics (per tirerack reviews - no personal experience). Compared to stock tires, they are a bit noiser but nothing I can't live with. I kept my factory wheels and tires in case I need all-seasons for the mountains. Ride comfort seems good but I came from a Mazda RX-8 with Mazdaspeed springs, shocks, sway bars and strut bars (read: stiff ride). Maybe a bit harsher than factory ride with factory set-up but it's probably close to the same. Paid $199 per tire at Just Tires in Sherman Oaks (included mounting and balance). Tirerack had them for $184 but without mounting and balancing.

I use Michellin Pilot Sport: Front 235/50ZR18, Rear 255/45ZR18 (directional tires)
- Performance in dry = Excellent; Rain = EXCELLENT (it rains a LOT and HEAVY here); Snow = N/A (it NEVER snow here!) - Thread Life = done 18K Km only, still got long way to go - Price = I forgot. but I think it was about US$200+ - Noise = slightly louder than the stock (Michellin Pilot HX), but I think it's more to do with from 17" to 18" rims; the sport exhaust and my music is way louder anyway! - Ride comfort = I'm used to stiff rides. Gave up my Lexus RX for the X3.
