Suggestions on DD tires 215/45/17 TIRE GURUS HELP!

Im a big fan of the V12's also. They are a good tire to use for a DD. Good treadwear and temp ratings. Are they gonna be year round tires? Or jus your summers.

I love my General Exclaim 225/45/17. It's holding up to my power level quite well, and it has a long treadwear. It also handles well in the wet. The only negative thing is the sidewall is a bit soft so there is a bit more movement in the corners compared to my 225/45/16 KDW2. Other than that, it's a great tire for DD. I have about 13+K miles on it with the 450+whp. The tires are still fairly quiet, and there are still a good amount of thread on them even with full boost every time I drive my car.

That's where I usually go for reviews. It's too bad they don't carry all the major brands.
