I've used Pirelli, Michellin X ICE, and Blizzak. I swear by blizzak.

I posted a deal for Blizzak tires, in the tires section. Saturday is the last day.

Look into it.

About all season tires... As it was explained to me, All Season tires are a comprimise(sp?) tire, okay in must things, but not good for anything. A good set of winters will cost $4-600. Your insurance deductable is usually a minimum of $500.... then a car is you're not coverd...
do the math.

Just go with Hankook i-pike or goodyear nordic. those are the best.

nexen winguard 231's. $67 per tire for 175/65R14. = win.

They work unbelievably well in the snow and ice.

I've heard continuous good things about the nordic winter tires from goodyear.. leaning towards them, I guess.

i know it's better to drive with winter tires during the winter, but i rarely drive this car on the winter, so i just want some good All-Season tires to move/wash the car since the tires is shot, i need to change them for next spring actually

i drive another car w/ good snow tires for daily driving, i always put safety first


thanks for you guys advise
always put safety first


anyway, any recommendation for a good All-Season tires?

matt491

It's not just that they're bad for the winter, but they're just as bad for the spring summer and fall, too! All seasons are **** for any weather. They don't give you as good handling dry, and when the road is wet, whether it's snow or rain, you're done. I've NEVER liked driving on all seasons.

That being said, I've never been let down by any yokohama tire. A lot of people seem to like goodyear too.

Michellin Harmony lasts FOREVER. Still have them on my mom's camry for over 5 years, and never let me down in winter.

Nobody mention "Nokian" tires?

PurpleStuff

I thought Nokian only made winter tires?

Look into Falken Ziex ZE-912s... Working at my work (Hyundai Dealership), these are the standard OEM replacement tires that we offer to our customers from Accents to Tiburons to Sonatas. They aren't noisy, the compound feels soft for better traction, and they have good grip on dry and wet pavement. Some of our customers also drive these in snow and all year round and they haven't had a problem with them. In fact, I'm buying a set of these in the spring when I switch back to my summer rims.

gaDJet

No they make all ranges, but yes I was referring to winters anyway since the thread got jacked as all seasons are not recommend for winter driving even if its only on weekends. (It snows on weekends too) :P

But can't mess or miss with Hakkapeliitta models.

I have Nokian Hakkapeliitta Snow Tires and they are awesome! But you pay for what you get.

^ the falkens are awesome as summer tires. Have them on my civic since may and they grip well when the weather is nice outside. They're not so good in cold weather, so far. I did buy winter tires this winter cause I just can't risk it anymore. All seasons are ok in the winter too based on a few factors: the driver, how new the tires are and where you live.
IMO, anyways.
