Who has all season tires?

i2iSTUDIOS · 12-13-2008, 11:50 AM

I know snow tires rock but what about going with higher performance all seasons? Thoughts from people who own them? I don't know if this will work but here is what tirerack carries, there are 4 choices.

the high performance winter tires blizzack lm25 and dunlop wintersports are just as good IMO as AS tires. great tread rating, great on dry. only a few hundred more maybe? seeing that you prob get snow in your area and have an "i" i think winter tires is a no brainier.

summer tyres for summer and winter tyres for winter...can not be simplier!

All seasons are poor in the summer and poor in the winter.
You best bet is to have dedicated summer and winter tires. You will not be dissapointed.

again, anythoughts from folks that have all seasons?

I have a set of Blizzaks LM25, they are great but won't fit the 335 unless I work with a tire guy to help with spacers and i'd rather not deal with it.

I am currently running Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S tires. They work pretty well in the winter - I've driven in Toronto and Montreal in December/January without issues. It never snowed heavily, but I did wake up one day to find about 4-5 inches of snow on the ground. I didn't have any issues getting out of the outdoor parking lot (unplowed). I ran them in the summer, and they worked well enough.

Search through some threads and you'll find a few reviews on these tires.

I'm running those same tires for the summer but I still use a dedicated set of Dunlop winter tires for November-April. I was surprised to find that these Goodyear A/S tires performed as well and in some cases better than some of the top UHP summer tires in Tire Rack's testing. Good to know however that they're competent in the snow too, I selected A/S so I could run them later into the cold season before having to change.
