Default Tires

Hey I'm looking for a good all year tire that has good performance qualities, snow traction, and fairly good wear!! Does anyone have any suggestions I would buy Continental, Goodyear, Michelin, cooper, or any other American brand. I am hesitant to buy Pirellis because the p6 all season wears sooo poorly and can roll a bit on tight turns. Thanks! And also please check out my other posts... upon startup my car has a dip in rpm's is this normal and how do i fix it!!!![sm=headbang.gif] thank you!!!! [sm=thanx.gif]

all seasons? why would you own such a nice driving vehicle and then ruin the ride with such compromising sneakers on it?
would you run in work boots?, ski in sneakers?, how about lift weights in sandles?, i'd hope not....
dont compromise your cars performance by putting all-season tires on it... at least i would advise against it.
i personally run Michelin Pilot Sports (225/45/17) in the summer and Michelin Pilot Alpins in the winter and would recommend those two tires to anyone asking.

Michelins ouch how do like getting raped goodyears wear out to fast conti's arn't that bad and the price is resionable but myself I run Kumho NX's and they are awsome even though Kumho isn't up there is name brand but that is what you are paying for is the name Michelin's are way over priced for what they are there are a lot of tires that compare to them for a lot cheaper

Hey CLConversion,
I bought the Falken 512 last summer and drove with them this winter. Do you remember that snow stormed we had on January 22nd. I was driving on Don Valley Parkway where everyone was doing around 40-50Km/h and I was doing 60-80 km/h on that day. I thought that these tires were amazing. Now, I don't know if it will have the same traction comes next winter.

Wal*Mart gives an 80K mi. warranty on them. They rotate and balance them for free.

Yea Dudley you have the right idea going with the off brand set of tires so you are not paying a arm and a leg for them and the work great
