I need new tires soon and wanted to buy from Costco but they don't have Continental Tires :(

Tell us the car, wheel size (diameter and width), and tire size, and I'm sure we'll have tons of good recommendations for you.

Its a 2008 Acura TL.
235/45/R17

I want all season tires and was looking at this thread http://www.revscene.net/forums/70581...ll-season.html which was between the michelin a/s 3(which costco does sell) and the continental dws.

I did some research and it seems like the DWS has a better/softer ride(which is what I want) and the a/s 3 is more for performance.

Which came to my conclusion of the Continental DWS06 tires.

Edit: After doing some more research I am considering the Michelin Premier A/S. They are $30x4 more than the DWS's though.

Premier is all season, no performance to be found there at all and especially not high. PS AS3 for sure

Both the Pilot Sport A/S 3+ and DWS06 are great tires -- no doubt about that. But they aren't the only good choices in the category. The BFG G-Force Comp2 A/S is a good choice as well, and the the Kumho 4X II is a great budget choice.

The Premier is more of a touring grade tire instead of a performance grade one. It is good at what it does, but performance is not really its forte.

Agreed. The boys at TSS are very competitive for their tire pricing also

Only problem with the g force is they are directional, so you can't follow a regular rotation pattern like an psas3. But the pricing on the G force usually are pretty good. And for some people, they love how sporty and aggressive the g force look compared to the as3 or Pirelli pzero
