I hate buying rubbers!

[Muggerrudd]

What brand / style of all season tires do you suggest for our cars?

[p0isin]

Buy the magnum xl..... Oh wait, not those types of rubbers?

[FraggyA4]

Nokian's WRG3, I've had them for 2.5 years love them and have held up great. Probably one of the most aggressive all seasons that actually provides all season use.

Glad someone picked up the joke! [:D]

My current tires are loud and are really starting to drive me nuts.

[p0isin]

Lol, sorry I can't be of more help. I run a dedicated set of summers and winters so no all season experience here.

I had a great experience with General AS03S all season performance tires. They actually had a little too much grip so I downgraded to Toyo Proxes 4 I think they are. They have been pretty good so far also. A little less grip than the Generals, which is exactly what I was looking for .

how can a tire have too much grip?

When you have awd but want to be able to kick the rear out a little on occasion!

Yup.

Zaclee! A little tire slip goes a long way, and a little less stress on the clutch from launches.

[krewbrew]

I have run continental dws for years. Great all weather traction, and not loud.

I LOVE my Nexen CP672's. They are a standard all season tire. With a 70,000 mile warranty, you may think "Woah, they must be hard as rocks," but I must say no way, they are a great tire with outstanding grip in dry and wet. They have a great looking side wall as well. Here is where I bought them for $100/tire shipped:

Looks like they have come down $7/tire since I bought them. They are an awesome company too. I ordered on a Tuesday evening and received them on Thursday of the same week.

Just my $.02!

great tires but the price is kind of steep! I might have to set more $$$$ aside and pick those up.

[mtroxel]

I was a fan of Continental DWS, had 3 sets on my B5's. Then bought this B7 with a new set of Uniroyal Tiger Paw GTZ. These were great in the snow this year, quiet, better in the dry, good turn-in for an all-season, and about $35/tire less.

I bought a set of cheep summioto or how ever they are spelled and ill never buy another cheep tire again. Glad those are working out for you and best of luck in the future. Not something i am looking at purchasing nor does the tread look great for winter conditions. (too wide, need more groves)

[Muggerrudd]

Ran Continental DWS's on multiple of my previous cars, about to slap on new wheels with a set of them too. Can't go wrong with them imo

I am a big fan of continental DWS tires for all seasons. Every daily driver in the house I live in runs those tires.

Rubbers......one of my dating requirements is that she be on the pill.

[brandonpham]

Agreed. I have Continental Extreme Contact DWS on my Titanium 18s. Car has been amazing through snow, ice, rain, etc.

[Axis]

I liked :

- Falken Ziex-ZE912 I think replaced by ZE-950AS (Past)
- Michelin P-Zero Nero All Season (Running them now)

[Avant4me]

Continental DWS hands down is leading the high performance all-season category. Conti is coming out with a new version as well.

great grip and handling, quiet and long lasting (540 rating going up to 560 in the new tire).

at sub $200 a piece with a road hazard warrenty with their performance I won't be changing to a different tire any time soon....and I do 70+ in the snow =P

[drumnjuny]

hankook ventus V12, for cheap rubbers

or Pilot Super Sport for longer lasting good rubbers


no these aren't All seasons, because you should just drive slow in rain lulz

[vce1232000]

I mean most summer tires should be good in rain, its just when it gets below 45 degrees.. but then you slap the winters on and problem solved.

ran Ventus V12's all winter this year, used to run Blizzak's but moved to VA where the winters are not as extreme. we had maybe 10 snowfalls, out of which half were over 6". V12's did work!! And they have 6000 miles and a track day on em, not too shabby at 5/32nd's lololol. just gotta brake early and drive carefully, no hooning like on the blizzak's [>_<]
