I am looking for the best all season tire. Price is not a problem.
I was thinking about these tires:

BFGoodrich Traction T/A
Bridgestone Potenza G009
Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S
Pirelli P6 Four Seasons
Fuzion HRi

Anyone with any information on this topic please post it!!!
I dont think winter tires is neccessary because my area is always
clear and salted.

Thanks!

P.S I searched and didnt come up with much.

Well right now I have a set of Yokohama Avid H4's on my car. They are also the only set of tires that have been on my car, so i dont have anything to compare too, but i like them a lot.
But have you tried going to tirerack.com? I think they have tire reviews, and scores.

Yes I have checked many sites, I just want honest opinions
from here.

Going to go with the BFGoodrich Traction T/A.
Only heard good things.

Honest opinion... All seasons suck!

Whether your area has much snow or not, snow tires make all the difference and there is still a chance you may be somewhere that has lots fo snow. All season tires are not as good as summers in the dry and not as good as winters in the snow. Winter tires may not be neccessary, but htey can be very beneficial.

I had Michelin X1 all season tires for years until I switched to winters. I would never go back again. Your car has all season tires already so how do you feel they perform? If you buy another set of more expensive all seasons, I doubt they will be much different then the ones you have now.

the bf should be quite good... i heard good stuff about it too.. my friend had the pilot... i took a drive, i didn't like it... in fact, i don't really like the michelin stuff for some reason

Well I have the OEM 690 Firestones, but they are the worst OEM
tires ever. So I cant use that as an example. LOL.
Your probably right about the all season thing. Most of the time
I just cruise and because of my driving style I dont think I need winter tires.
All I need is a good premium all season tire. This is my opinion
though, winter tires are no doubt the best way to go for winter.
I've just had good experiences with previous all seasons.

All season tires= no good in any season

Isnt the Falken ZIEX ZE-512 considered all season? However those are good tires though. I suggest you check out those Falkens.

imported_alwaysoverkill

no all-season is going to give you good traction in all the seasons. Even the ZE-512's, by all-season they mean dirt, gravel, pavement and rain.

they just won't handle the ice and snow, even if plowed. sure you won't get stuck, but good luck stopping quick if you need to, cause the all-seasons will take all-year to stop fast or grip icy conditions. I personally use Blizzaks, and not only do they grip amazing in deep snow, they stop great. then for summer i use a dedicated summer tire to get maximum grip on the hot pavement.

i know this isn't exactly what you asked, but you'll see everyone is explaining how all-seasons are trash for all the seasons. even a cheap winter tire is a great investment for winter.

Just go with a set of Hakka's awesome in the snow and a good all season yes believe it or not Hakka's are all season. Most of their models have a 80,000km tread life. Stay away from Fusion got about 20,000km out of mine before the belts were showing. Now have BFG and going on 40,000km.

Hmmm, thanks for the advice. I know the winter tires is probably
the route I need to take. LOL But Im lazy so I'd rather just have
one. hehehe. I might change my mind though before november
due to the good advice. So thanks for the comments.

imported_][ce_colD

BTW what winter tire are you all using, almost all of you do so
post em up :P I want to know so if I do change my mind I'll get a
good set of winter tires.

imported_My93Civic

I agree. Everyone should have two sets of tires. One for summer and one for winter.

Those Blizzaks are great

imported_Thrill_House

Get blizzaks or hakka's, dont even waste your time with any other winter tires. And dont be lazy and cheap, get yourself a set of winters if anything its protecting you, your ride, other peoples safety and keeping your insurance rates down. Seriously a good set of winter tires really do make all the difference in an emergency situation.

winter tires on steelies, summer tires on mags... best all season setup!

imported_Thrill_House

If you absoloutley must get all season tires then this would be the one to get:

Goodyear triple tread

imported_][ce_colD

heard bad things, that is all hype and no action.

I am going to get summer and winters. just gonna save up and
wait till november.
