I need to get new tires for my rx8. They dont need to be just for winter i just need some good over all tires. Does anyone have tires they have been very satisfied with?

Do you want them to go in snow as well? If so, you'll need all-season tires... and many people will grumble at you for not getting summer performance tires.
My normal tires are summer-only (Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3). My winters are Dunlop Winter Sport M3. I'm very pleased with both sets.

what a vague thread. "they don't need to be winter tires, just all around good tires" is so general. why don't you start, um, here?

I just put Fuzion RZi's on my 8 and love them. They are a Bridgestone tire targeted towards the "tuner" crowd, but who cares, they are cheap ($120/tire) and are super responsive and grippy. I can't tell you how long they will last, but they drive great. They are summer performance tires though, and the first post was ambiguous as to whether you didn't wan't tires that would work in winter at all or didn't want dedicated winter tires but did want an all season.
Another tire to STAY AWAY FROM is BF Goodrich KDW NT. I got these last week and was so disappointed that I called the tire shop up after two days and asked if I could replace them with something else. Thankfully they let me. The BFG's also have a very weak sidewall and a very squishy, squirmy feel when you corner. Very unnerving.

Avons A/S - ultra high performance All season tires. They worked well for me in Chicago weather conditions and the price is right. Also moved up to 245/40 when I bought them, looks far more aggressive on the 8.
