Default Recommendation on Tires

Just bought a '12 CE GS, tires look like they will soon need to be replaced, I live in Georgia and will be driving this thing year round.

Any suggestions?

Im guessing a 4 wheel alignment is needed, anyone recommend a good shop or dealer to have this done in the Savannah, GA/Charleston, SC/Jacksonville, FL area?

Thanks!

I recommend either Bridgestones or Michelins for year round good performance in Georgia

Got my new matte gunmetal Nurburgrings in and ended up with slightly wider than stock Pilot SS's. Good looking tires and a nice square profile. Waiting on my rotors and pads to go on and can't wait .
