Default OEM Tire Replacement?

The Front Turanzas on my 250 F-Sport AWD are shot after 8000 miles and my inspection is due this month. Can anybody recommend a better replacement? Looking for something all-season for the Pittsburgh weather.

Thanks for the help!

+2 on the DWS. I ran them them on my previous car and they were awesome. The DW is what I'll run when it's time, but for your climate stick with the DWS.

I would say the TOYO Proxes 4, they have something like a 45,000 mile warranty... Great contact in the summer so far...

The drivers side tire is fine and would definitely pass inspection. However, the passengers side is really worn towards the outside. I can post pictures when I get out of work

need to get an alignment if it is wearing unevenly. Stock tires are trash though. I would go all seasons if you dont want summer tires and longer treadlife

I am currently running on Conti DWS.
Great tires as ultra high performance all season that actually works in all season.
But need to sacrifice ultimate performace due to soft side wall for comfort.
Goodyear f1 asymmetric all season will be my next tires.
Yokohama and Falken came out with some new high performance all season that worth looking at.
