Winter Tire VS All Season
#16
We have a 48 month/50k mile lease on a 2014 ES300h. I bought Blizzaks on pulloff 2009 ES350 "17 seven spoke wheels. They work like magnets 3 month/3k miles each year. Intend to use them on the 2018 (!) ES when the time comes. Justified the expense because I won't be buying All Seasons at 45k miles just before turning it in.

I just put a set of Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 All season high performance tires to replace the stocks. Last winter my car was amazing in the snow and that was with the crappy stock tires. So far these tires are amazing! Ride quality and handling feel better and wet traction is by far improved over stock. These cost me under $700 from Tire Rack and I cant be happier. It has not snowed yet but from the reviews I have read these perform pretty good!
I really dont see the need for snow tires unless you live in Canada or Alaska when you have a good set of All-season tires on your AWD. My last vehicle was an 08' IS350 and snow tires were required for me to get around.
cheers!

It won't be easy to find winter tires that are wide enough for the rear OEM wheels (18x8.5). I'm running 225/40R18 on 18x8 all around.
