I'm looking for NON-directional, all season, OEM size replacement tire options - 225/40*18 front and 255/40*18 rear (I would also consider 225f/245r or 235f/255r). I've looked on tire rack/discount tire and the pickin's are pretty slim. Dunlop need not apply (!)

Anybody know of any that don't require mixing brands front and rear?

You might try Nitto INVO I am not sure if they are all-season or not.

i have a set of nitto invo's front and rear. they're summer high-performance tires, so not all-season tires. they're good in the dry, okay in the wet. but they have nearly identical wear ratings as the dunlops, and mine went 27k before i really had to change them out.

The nittos suck. If it gets below 70 degrees they make a humming noise when going 55mph or faster, it is highly annoying. I had the tire shop swap them out and they still do it. This is why I am replacing them with Goodyear all season F1, discount tire is awesome when it comes to customer service. The Goodyears have a 440 treadwear and are supposed to be super quiet and smooth. They are reinforced with carbon fiber and the tread stays black instead of getting brownish, it is some new material they use that doesn't turn brown apparently. I will post when I get them put on next week and let you all know how they work, but I have heard they are good.

Hey Sincity,

Just a warning, I havent had good luck with the goodyear since the early 90's. The quality and tirewear are not as good as they are rated. I owned Gatorback, GS-C and F1 for my camaro. Only the old school gatorback were any good. GS-C lasted about 10K and F1 lasted about 15K. the gators lasted about 32K

Well as long as they are quiet and ride smooth, I don't care. The nittos are good if it isn't below 70 degrees, but that is 4 months out of the year here. I kinda am stuck with my decision at this point since they already ordered them for me. I guess there is not substitute for the Michelin PS2s, but I just didn't want to break out $1400 for them.

Let me know what you think of the tires when you get them installed.

Thanks for the input so far. I really like the OEM Turanzas, I just don't like the idea of summer-only tires in heavy rain and in the occasional snow and Ice storms we get here, hence the desire for an all season tire. I also would like a non-directional tire so that I can at least rotate side to side if I get any odd wear patterns.

I replaced my originals with the GY Eagle F1 A/S and have been very pleased. They are quiet and smooth, and provide great all weather handeling.

That is all I am looking for, quiet and smooth.

This might fit your budget, and not compromise on performance/comfort.

There is no non directional all season in your size, that I'm aware of. The best bet in an all season looks to me like the Good Year Eagle F1 A/S though it is directional.

The S.4. outranks the F1 in overall, and is more affordable.

Did you mention the F1 because you have to push the tire by any chance?

I would hope that your recommendation is not sales driven.

Here are the facts.

ADVAN S.4.

Goodyear F1


Advan S.4. > Goodyear F1

I almost forgot to add that the S.4. is an All-Season tire, where as the F1 is a max performance summer, that is better compared to the Advan Sport, which isn't a fair matchup either.

Brandon@TR

Yes, actually I get 1 million dollars if I sell Goodyear tires.

The problem with the S4 is that it isn't available in his sizes. So I would guess he wants a recommendation for a tire available in his sizes. Also you seem to be comparing the F1 summer with the all season S4 which isn't really apples to apples. If you want to compare the S4 even though it's not available in his sizes with the GY F1 AS then that is a fair comparison and they are both good tires they are rated almost exactly the same in our survey results. The Yoko's are good tires and if they were made in these sizes they would also be a good choice.

Also, you can't compare the test data numbers with the customer survey result numbers.
