Default Looking into buying tires

Well sooner or later I am going to need new tires. I am looking for a high performance all season tire. I want something that will handle excellent in dry and wet weather. What has been your guys experience with tires? Recommedations?

What is the exact tire size you require & do you want an all season or summer rubber? the A/S will last much longer, but you will sacrifice some traction & handling performance.

How about some Kumho Tire?

Great price and good performance.

I'd go with the new Avon Tech M550 A/S:

or the Falken Ziex ZE-512

Those 2 are your very best overall choices & value hands down!

Kumho's are not highly regarded around here to be honest.

The number one rated performance all season based on our customer surveys are the Pirelli P Zero Nero M&S.

It all depends what laxdude wants to spend. The Pirelli's are a bit expensive compared to the others.
