New rear tires on 2014 V8V. Suggestions.

I have read several post and reviews.
Considering Yokohama Advan Sport A/S.
stock size 285/35 19
Suggestions? Just looking for a good, all season tire. Great price on these too at $185.

sliderule01 is infamous around these parts
I personally like the Conti DWS 6+ and think they are available in that size. Contemplating putting them on my DB9 so I dont have a garage queen 4 5 months out of the year. Price is more than 185, but they do griop pretty well and wonderful in snow and rain

These are great tires for the money. Seems to hold up well against flat spotting as well.

Evo V12 has been a good tire for the $. Rear tires only? You need a matching set of 4 regardless.

I battled between the Evo V12 and Michelin Pilot Super sport 4s. I looked at all the reviews and the Pilot 4S came out on top all the time. I did want to try the Evo V12s because of the price, but the overwhelming reviews on the Pilots won me over every time. I even just bought a set of Pilot 4S for the E46 M3 on Friday. I got them at Costco for under $1000 (albeit the M3 tires are smaller).

I drove a pair of C6 vettes back to back, one with PS4, one with Ventus EVO V12. In the warm Florida sun they were dead even in my books. Perhaps the Hancook had a little quicker turn in once warmed up. Hancooks had a little more mileage on them.

Since she's only driven in nice weather, I was not worried about wet or cold performance. In mixed weather, PS4 would edge the EVO V12 out. For half the price, I ordered the Hancooks. Waiting on new rims to arrive now to mount.

Got 305/25/ZR20 Rears, 255/30ZR20 fronts.
