    Tire recomendation

    So one of my tires went out today. I need to replace them all I'm told for having a Quattro. What are you guys running? I don't need snow tires as we don't have harsh winters in South Texas. Im looking for a soft ride with long lasting tires...

    My continental contipro contact sport a/s lasted me 45k miles with normal rotation every 5-10k miles. I'd say pretty decent considering I'm somewhat lowered and Quattro as well. Trying out BFG comp 2 a/s's at the moment and as far as grip in rain, snow and dry weather go they're fantastic. Can't say much about longevity since I'm currently at 4K miles. I did notice they may be a little loud in parking lot driving speed.

    I will always recommend Hankook Ventus V12's. Best bang for the buck$ IMO. I'm currently trying out some Michelin PSS but the price is outrageous so I'm going to reserve my recommendation for a while until I see how they wear and perform.

    I can't recommend any no-seasons as I don't run them. Being from south Texas you can probably get away with a good high performance summer tire year round so I just wouldn't recommend any all seasons if you're not going to run into any snow. In my opinion and from my previous experiences all-seasons suck. Period.

    AKA: Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s in N. America....new to our market but very reasonably priced and receiving stellar initial reviews. I have a new set sitting in storage waiting for our Northeast Winter weather to calm down.

    I got the Cooper Zeon RS3-A for 360 installed after taxes and after visa rebate from NTB and they ride great and have great tread life. Look for a sale at Firestone, NTB,pep boys, and discount tire.

    I am running BF Goodrich comp 2 a/s , lots of grip , ride quality improved so much comparing with my previous Pirelli P-Zero .They definitely have the soft ride but still feeling sporty .I had them installed five months ago , can't really say much about how long they will last... If I decide to keep them all year around , probably not too long , If after the summer they will still have enough tread to be as effective as they should during the winter I am happy ! Two winters and two summers it's all I expect from them
