Tires Falken or Goodyear

Yes they are. I replaced mine with Sumintano HTRZ IIIs and things quieted down considerably.

Like Tim said above, it depends on the tire. Some are more dedicated to pure dry weather grip, some have a better rain compound and tread. Like poster #2 above, I have Goodyear F1's. The reason I chose those is because they are just about unbeatable in the rain, it's like driving on a dry road. They can stand the car on it's nose under braking, and grip harder when turning. They give up very little in dry ultimate grip, too.

It depends on the tire. My Eagle F1 GSD-3's are *awesome* in the rain.

yea, the Eagle GT's are what my mother has on her G35. Definitely resist hydroplaning well.

Great tire...Performs awesome in wet and dry conditions:

My RE50s were also loud at 16K. I replaced them with Falken Ziex RE 912s at 20k and they are very quiet.

Well Evan Tire of San Diego did a remarkable job. They'd installed a new left tie rod, 2 Falkine 912 tires and performed a wheel alignment. I took it for atest drive then hit the highway. I love the feel of the car now. Lowered cener of gravity, steering response is a bit more accurate with less body roll.

I really liked my Goodyear F1 All Seasons when I was living in Mass. They are an excellent combo for all weather conditions and performance.

I currently have a set of Falken's 225-40-18 and I must say that I have gotten about 23k out of them and at about the 20k the tires had cracks all over, the handling wasnt great but wasnt bad, they are not noisy in my opinion.

Each of our TRegs have these Goodyear Wrangler HP tires: the 06 v8's became "cupped on the inside" with nil tread-wear ( see this http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3316272 ), despite the dealer checking and rotating each 5k miles -- had to be replaced at 12k miles.
