My 04 Grand Prix CompG is going to need new tires for the winter…for now I’m looking at all season options. Currently on the vehicle are BFGoodrich Comp T/A’s which have a bit of dry-rot and if their wet performance is any indication of what winter would be like I am definitely going to need some tires.

As I look for performance tires that can also get you threw snow I find myself with a very short list that are in my size.

The shop I go to all the time says the Toyo Proxes 4’s are a good bet, but I can’t expect to see them in my size till possibly the fall or later.

Falken Ziex has also been recommened to me and look to be a good low cost tire. Not thrilled that my current options are only Japanese but whatever fits and prices right I guess I’ll go with.

I was told Pirelli PZERO NERO M@S tires would work but I can only imagine the price on those and searching threw online retailers I couldn’t find them in my size.

I have to admit, tires are actually the one area I know little about when it comes to fitments. What sizes fit on what rims and such. I know changing from stock sizes does usually mess with the speedometer.

**In any event, any of you who work at shops and find you have some spare time on your hands see what you have for a selection on 225/55R/17’s in the all-season “performance” categories, preferably low profile.**

^Back when I had a Grand Prix I had these tires.^  
Buy these and you will not be disappointed.

Although an optimal solution to your problem would be to get a set of tires for winter and another set for summer. Just depends on you price range. Also I don’t follow your statement about not being thrilled about buying Japanese tires. They make why better tires than just about any US company and at 1/2 the price.
