Default the best all season all around 18 inch tire

its really simple. from people who currently own them, what is in your opinion the best 18 inch tire for all season use including ride comfort, quietness and wet traction. michelin pilot sport a/s seems to be the concensus 'expert' choice but I prefer to hear real world experience. and please note: I dont care about summer or winter tires. I am asking about ALL SEASON 18s only. you guys are the ones to trust. and yeah spending a grand on tires is not fun.

What is the exact tire size in 18"'s you are looking for? The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S are pretty good, but there maybe other choices that will give you awesome performance in an all season tire for less money & perhaps even longer tread life for your money!

I did some checking & since you need all season....the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S is probobly your best choice next to the Perelli P- Zero Nero M+S. Good Luck! I had the Michelins & they were awesome on my 01 Nissan Maxima SE.

In addition the the Pilot Sport A/S and the Pirelli, the Continental Extreme Contact would be a great choice.
